Arraez drives in tying and go-ahead runs as the Padres rally to beat the Marlins 8-6
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Three-time batting champion Luis Arraez singled in the tying and go-ahead runs against one of his former teams and Miami Marlins rookie second baseman Ronny Simón's three errors helped the San Diego Padres rebound from a six-run deficit for a wild 8-6 win on Tuesday night.
Simón originally had been charged with a fourth error but the official scorer changed the call to a single by Xander Bogaerts.
Miami took a 6-0 lead after sending 10 batters to the plate in the first against Stephen Kolek (3-1), who got through 5 1/3 innings for the win.
San Diego started its comeback on Fernando Tatis Jr.'s 13th homer, an opposite-field, leadoff shot off Max Meyer.
Simón's misfortunes started in the second when, with runners on first and second and one out, he dove for Tyler Wade's grounder, which deflected off his glove for an RBI single and rolled into foul territory. He chased down the ball and his errant throw pulled catcher Agustín Ramírez well off the plate, allowing another run to score.
San Diego pulled to 6-5 in the third on Bogaerts' run-scoring single, which had originally been ruled an error as the ball appeared to go under Simón's glove, and Jake Cronenworth's sacrifice fly.
Simón's fielding error allowed Wade to reach leading off the fourth. Simón fielded Tatis' grounder and tried to force Wade at second but his throw went over shortstop Javier Sanoja's head for another error. Wade scored on Arraez's single to tie it at 6.
Simón was replaced in the bottom of the fifth when Javier Sanoja moved over from shortstop. Otto Lopez entered at shortstop and in Simón's spot in the order.
Cronenworth hit a leadoff single in the fifth and scored the go-ahead run on Arraez's third hit, a two-out single to center.
Miami traded Arraez to the Padres on May 4, 2024.
Jackson Merrill homered in the eighth, his fifth.
Jeremiah Estrada got a four-out save, his first.
Cade Gibson (0-3) took the loss.
Key moment
Tatis' fourth leadoff homer this season and 15th of his career sailed just inside the foul pole in right.
Key stat
It was just the second time ever the Padres rallied to win after being down 6-0 after the top of the first.
Up next
Marlins RHP Sandy Alcantara (2-7, 8.04) and Padres LHP Kyle Hart (2-2, 6.00) are scheduled to start the series finale Wednesday.

Josh Smith homers and scores all 3 runs for the Texas Rangers in a 3-1 win over the White Sox
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Josh Smith homered and scored all three Texas runs in his fifth consecutive two-hit game to help the Rangers beat the Chicago White Sox 3-1 on Friday night. The leadoff hitter had a single in the first and scored on Corey Seager's sacrifice fly. Smith's seventh homer was a 396-foot drive to right-center in the third, then he walked ahead of Marcus Semien's RBI double that made it 3-0 in the fifth. Smith was 2 for 3 with a walk and is hitting .435 (10 for 23) during a career-best streak of five multihit games. Jacob Webb (4-3), the second of seven pitchers in a bullpen game for the Rangers, worked two innings for the victory as they won for the fifth time in six games. Robert Garcia loaded the bases in the ninth before closing out his fifth save in seven chances. White Sox starter Adrian Houser (2-2) allowed three runs and six hits over five innings. He struck out two and walked four. Shawn Armstrong started for Texas and struck out five while retiring all nine batters the first three innings. His season highs before Friday were seven batters faced and three strikeouts. Luis Robert was the first White Sox hitter to reach base, on an infield single with two outs in the fifth when he was initially called out before a replay challenge. He also had an RBI double in the seventh. Key moment The White Sox had a run in and two on in the seventh when Texas reliever Chris Martin retired the only two batters he faced. Key stat Seager is 4 for 45 (.089) with 15 strikeouts in 13 games since returning from the injured list May 28. But he has drawn a walk in a career-best eight games in a row after two more free passes. Up next Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom (6-2, 2.12 ERA) has allowed two runs over fewer in each of his last 10 starts The White Sox hadn't announced who will start for them Saturday. ___ AP MLB:
