Washington Nationals vs San Diego Padres Match Player Stats On Jun 24, 2024

Jurickson Profar ripped a two-run single with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning, capping a four-run rally that gave the San Diego Padres a 7-6 win over the visiting Washington Nationals on Monday night.

Jackson Merrill lined a two-run single to center off Hunter Harvey (2-3) to bring San Diego within a run, and Ha-Seong Kim then drew a walk. Tyler Wade bunted Merrill and Kim over to second and third, respectively, but Harvey got David Peralta to foul out for the second out.

After an intentional walk to Luis Arraez, Profar fell behind in the count, 0-2, battled back to 2-2, fouled off two pitches and then laced a splitter into the gap in right-center for his team's fifth walk-off win of the season.

Washington took a 6-3 lead in the top of the 10th via Keibert Ruiz's two-out double that scored Jesse Winker, and Nick Senzel's two-run homer.

Wandy Peralta (2-1) got the last out of the top of the 10th to pick up the win for the Padres. Starter Matt Waldron lasted six innings, permitting five hits and two runs while walking two and striking out eight.

Despite placing star right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (right femoral stress reaction) on the 10-day injured list before the game, San Diego started quickly, taking a 3-0 lead in the second inning against Nationals starter Patrick Corbin.

Jake Cronenworth and Donovan Solano singled to put runners on the corners with no outs. Corbin fanned Merrill but then allowed a bunt single down the third base line by Kim that scored Cronenworth. Kyle Higashioka followed with a two-run double.

But Corbin settled down and sailed through the next five innings, giving Washington time to eat away at the deficit. Joey Meneses got the Nationals on the board in the third, spanking a ground-rule double to center that scored CJ Abrams.

Meneses cut the deficit to 3-2 in the fifth with a much softer hit, dribbling a two-out single down the third base line that plated Jacob Young. Two innings later, Meneses came through again with a game-tying RBI single.

Corbin allowed five hits and three runs in seven innings. He didn't issue a walk and fanned five.
