Padres third baseman Manny Machado, a Miami native, made the game's key defensive play, throwing Vidal Brujan out at the plate in the 10th inning.

The Padres won their seventh straight game -- the longest active run in the majors.

San Diego scored in the opening inning as Arraez singled and scored from first on Jake Cronenworth's sliced double to the gap in left-center.

The Padres made it 2-0 in the third as Jurickson Profar stroked a two-out single, advanced on a hit-by-pitch and scored on Machado's single off the glove of second baseman Otto Lopez.

San Diego extended its lead to 3-0 in the fourth as David Peralta doubled and scored on Ha-Seong Kim's single.

Moments later, Lopez did the same thing to right field, giving Miami a 5-3 advantage. The final runs of the rally scored on Derek Hill's sacrifice fly and on Jhonny Pereda's RBI single.

In the seventh, the Padres loaded the bases with no outs on three straight singles before Arraez and Cronenworth hit RBI groundouts. On the latter play, Marlins shortstop Edwards made a stellar play to get a force at second.

The Padres scored three runs in the eighth. First, Xander Bogaerts walked, and Jackson Merrill hit a two-run homer.

Then, Peralta doubled and was replaced by pinch-runner Bryce Johnson, who raced to third on Kim's sacrifice bunt. With two outs, Arraez beat out an infield single to Lopez at second, giving San Diego an 8-7 lead.
