Ram\u00f3n Laureano and Fernando Tatis Jr. each drove in two runs apiece, Germ\u00e1n M\u00e1rquez threw 5 2\/3 scoreless innings in a strong start and the San Diego Padres beat the Angels 4-1 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Adrian Morejon (2-0) struck out two in 1 1\/3 scoreless relief innings for the win and Mason Miller earned his seventh save despite giving up a single and a walk in the ninth.<\/p>\n
Miller, who has allowed two hits, walked two and struck out 25 in 10 1\/3 innings this season, extended his scoreless streak to 31 2\/3 innings dating to last Aug. 6.<\/p>\n
The teams were in a scoreless tie when Freddy Fermin and Jake Cronenworth opened the eighth with four-pitch walks off Ryan Zeferjahn (1-1). Laureano chopped an RBI single through the middle for a 1-0 lead, snapping San Diego\u2019s 16-inning scoreless streak. Tatis followed with an RBI hit-and-run dribbler through a vacated second-base spot for a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n
The Angels trimmed the deficit to 2-1 in the bottom of the eighth when Logan O\u2019Hoppe and Adam Frazier singled off Jason Adam and Nolan Schanuel hit a two-out RBI single. But Jo Adell grounded out to end the inning.<\/p>\n
San Diego pushed the lead to 4-1 in the ninth on Laureano\u2019s sacrifice fly and Tatis\u2019 RBI single.<\/p>\n
M\u00e1rquez gave up two hits, struck out five \u2014 all in the fourth and fifth innings \u2014 and walked two.<\/p>\n
Angels starter Yusei Kikuchi allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked one in six innings.<\/p>\n
Jackson Merrill robbed Yo\u00e1n Moncada of a solo homer with a leaping catch at the right-center-field wall in the second, holding onto the ball as he collided with Tatis.<\/p>\n
The game was twice delayed for several minutes. In the second, O\u2019Hoppe, the Angels\u2019 catcher, took a foul tip off his neck. In the fifth a 96-mph fastball from Kikuchi grazed Cronenworth\u2019s chin. Both players remained in the game.<\/p>\n
