Padres designated hitter Luis Arráez was carted off the field and taken to a local hospital Sunday night after a scary collision at first base during San Diego's game against the Houston Astros.
Arráez ran directly into Astros second baseman Mauricio Dubón while trying to make it to first after a sacrifice bunt in the first inning of the matchup at Daikin Park. Arráez and Dubón collided hard and both immediately fell to the ground, though Dubón jumped back up quickly.

Arráez rolled straight over to his left shoulder, however, and he remained down completely motionless for quite some time while Dubón and the Padres' first base coach checked on him.
Others quickly ran out to help him, too. Arráez was eventually placed onto a stretcher and taken off the field. He was moving his limbs and gave a thumbs up as he was carted down the right field line, via the San Diego Union Tribune's Kevin Acee.
Arráez was taken to a local hospital for further testing. The team said he was stable, conscious, responsive and able to move his extremities. Further specifics on his condition are not yet known.

The game resumed after about a 15-minute delay.
Arraez holds a .287 batting average with seven RBI and three home runs this season. The 28-year-old was traded to the Padres by the Miami Marlins last May. He led the National League with 200 hits last season and held a .314 batting average in 150 games. The team then struck a one-year, $14 million deal with him this past offseason.
The Padres entered Sunday night's game, the final of a three-game series with the Astros, with a 15-6 record. The Astros won the first two games of the series. The Padres will wrap up their road trip with a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers starting Monday.

Manny Machado's 5 RBIs lead Padres' 11-1 rout of pitching-poor Dodgers
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Manny Machado had three hits and drove in five runs, Luis Arraez had three hits and scored four times, and the San Diego Padres capitalized on the Los Angeles Dodgers' lack of major league pitchers for an 11-1 victory Tuesday night. Dylan Cease (2-5) struck out 11 and yielded three hits over seven scoreless innings while ending his 11-start winless streak for the Padres, who dominated a bizarre game in this rivalry series. The Dodgers won the clubs' season opener 8-7 in a 10-inning thriller Monday, but the second game was barely competitive due to the defending World Series champions' pitching woes. The Dodgers have 14 pitchers on the injured list, and they handed this game over to Matt Sauer (1-1), who had been recalled from the minors to provide bulk innings. The Dodgers stuck to their plan even though Sauer struggled, allowing him to throw 111 pitches while giving up nine runs on 13 hits. Utilityman Kiké Hernández then pitched the final 2 1/3 innings, allowing three hits and one earned run while throwing no pitch faster than 57 mph. Cease issued five walks, but he also prevented the Dodgers' high-powered lineup from making it a game despite LA's pitching woes. He escaped a bases-loaded jam in the third. Martín Maldonado hit the Padres' only homer. Xander Bogaerts had a two-run single, and Jackson Merrill had an RBI triple. San Diego went up 11-0 in the seventh on Machado's two-run single. Michael Conforto got an RBI single for the Dodgers in the eighth. The Padres mounted their first rally with two outs in the third. Fernando Tatís Jr. drew a walk and scored on Arraez's double to right. Machado singled home Arraez, extending his hitting streak to eight games, before scoring on Merrill's triple to right. Machado's five RBIs matched his career high. Up next ___

Nolan Schanuel's walk-off single gives Angels the win over the Athletics
Nolan Schanuel hit a single into shallow center field in the 10th inning for the first walk-off hit of his career to drive in Jo Adell and give the Angels a 2-1 win over the Athletics on Tuesday night. Reid Detmers (2-2) struck out two of three batters to strand the automatic runner in the top of the 10th. Hogan Harris (1-1) took the loss for the A's, who have lost 22 of 26 games. The Angels trailed 1-0 in the bottom of the eighth when Travis d'Arnaud hit A's left-hander T.J. McFarland's first pitch for a pinch-hit homer and a 1-1 tie. Angels starter José Soriano gave up one run and two hits and struck out a career-best 12 in seven innings. He walked two. He threw a career-high 110 pitches, 71 for strikes, and induced 22 swinging strikes. The A's Mitch Spence, making his second start since being moved from the bullpen, gave up three hits, struck out four and walked none in five scoreless innings. Soriano was virtually untouchable through five no-hit innings in which he racked up nine strikeouts and walked one. He lost his no-hit bid in the sixth when Brent Rooker drove an RBI double to left-center field just beyond the reach of a diving Adell for a 1-0 A's lead. Key Moment Veteran right-hander Hunter Strickland, who signed a minor league deal on May 6, escaped a runner-on-second, no-out jam in the eighth and has not allowed a run in 11 innings over nine appearances with the Angels. Key Stat D'Arnaud's eighth-inning shot was the second pinch-hit homer of his career. His first came for the Atlanta Braves against the Colorado Rockies on Sept. 4, 2021. Up Next Athletics left-hander JP Sears (5-5, 5.21 ERA) will oppose Angels right-hander Kyle Hendricks (2-6, 5.34 ERA) in Wednesday's series finale.
