Sung-Mun Song made his MLB debut in Mexico City against the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> when the San Diego Padres added him to their roster as the 27th man. Song made an appearance as a pinch runner but did not do much more than that. Song changed that in his first MLB start when he hit a two-run double to left-center field to give the Padres a 5-4 lead in the top of the fourth inning against the San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n

The double by Song was part of a five-run fourth inning for the Padres against Giants starter Logan Webb<\/a>. San Diego<\/a> entered the top of the fourth trailing 4-1, but after scoring five runs to take a two-run lead, they never looked back while earning a 10-5 win at Oracle Park Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Walker Buehler<\/a> started on the mound for the Padres and surrendered two runs in the bottom of the first inning on a Casey Schmitt<\/a> two-run home run. San Diego answered in the top of the second inning when Xander Bogaerts<\/a> hit a solo home run to left field, but Buehler returned to the mound in the bottom of the second and quickly surrendered two more runs to San Francisco, giving them a 4-1 lead. Buehler settled in after the second and completed 5.1 innings allowing four runs on seven hits with no walks and five strikeouts.<\/p>\n

The new-look Padres offense continued to apply pressure to Giants pitchers, scoring runs in the fifth, sixth and eighth innings. Jackson Merrill<\/a> was 3-for-5 with two runs scored two RBI and a stolen base from the leadoff spot. Miguel Andujar<\/a> batted third and finished 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, a run scored and an RBI. Gavin Sheets<\/a> and Xander Bogaerts each finished 2-for-5 batting in the fourth and sixth spots respectively with Sheets adding a stolen base and Bogaerts opening the San Diego scoring with a solo home run in the second.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most notable change to the Padres lineup was Fernando Tatis Jr.<\/a>, who moved from the first or second spot in the lineup for much of the season, all the way down to fifth. Tatis Jr. finished 1-for-5 with a run scored.<\/p>\n
