Overview
- Freddy Fermin was hit in the head by a warmup pitch Saturday and was placed on the seven-day concussion injured list, opening playing time for backup catcher Rodolfo Durán.
- Durán went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a Statcast-projected 432-foot, 106.3 mph two-run homer in the seventh to drive in three runs and change the game for the Padres.
- Walker Buehler allowed one run over five innings to earn the win, marking his first victory in five starts, and San Diego used three relievers before Mason Miller recorded a four-out save for his 19th.
- The Orioles got a solo homer from Jeremiah Jackson and Trevor Rogers pitched six innings while allowing two runs and taking the loss.
- The result extends San Diego’s recent uptick in form and reinforces their strong record at Oriole Park, and the Padres head next to St. Louis to open a new series.
