Manny Machado homers again as Padres defeat Brewers 2-0
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Manny Machado homered for a second straight game and five San Diego pitchers combined on a four-hit shutout as the Padres defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 2-0 on Friday night.
Machado's eighth-inning homer off Grant Anderson was his ninth of the season. It came one day after he hit his 350th career homer in a 3-2 loss at San Francisco, making him the 33rd player to reach that milestone in his age-32 season or earlier. Machado turns 33 on July 6.
San Diego's other run came when Luis Arraez singled home Tyler Wade in the third.
Wandy Peralta (3-0) earned the win after replacing starter Randy Vásquez and striking out Christian Yelich to strand runners on second and third in the fifth. Robert Suarez retired the side in order in the ninth to earn his MLB-leading 20th save in 22 opportunities.
Vásquez walked four while striking out two and allowing two hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Milwaukee's Chad Patrick (3-5) struck out six and gave up one run, four hits and three walks in six innings. The 26-year-old rookie lowered his ERA to 2.84.
The Brewers left runners in scoring position in the second, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh innings.
Key moment
After Jackson Chourio and Yelich hit consecutive two-out singles in the seventh, Adrian Morejon struck out William Contreras to preserve San Diego's 1-0 lead. Machado then provided the Padres some insurance when he led off the eighth by sending an 0-2 pitch inside the left-field foul pole.

Blue Jays continue to roll, rallying to topple the Twins in series opener
The red-hot Blue Jays show no signs of cooling down.

Article content Hitting third has suited Barger, who deserve credit for taking advantage of the opportunity with Santander injured.

Rockies bring up prospect Ryan Ritter, place shortstop Ezequiel Tovar on injured reserve
DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Rockies are bringing up prospect Ryan Ritter to fill in for injured shortstop Ezequiel Tovar. Ritter had his contract selected from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday before Colorado began a three-game series with the NL East-leading New York Mets. Tovar was placed on the 10-day injured list — retroactive to Tuesday — with a strained left oblique. It was part of a series of moves made by the last-place Rockies. They also released catcher Jacob Stallings and recalled catcher Braxton Fulford from Triple-A. Reliever Zach Agnos was reinstated from the bereavement list. The 24-year-old Ritter was picked by Colorado in the fourth round of the 2022 amateur draft out of the University of Kentucky. He's hit .284 with 48 homers, 166 RBIs and 42 stolen bases over parts of four minor-league seasons. Ritter was recently named the Pacific Coast League player of the month after hitting .381 for the Isotopes with 12 homers and 31 RBIs. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Ritter primarily played shortstop this season for Albuquerque. Tovar, a Gold Glove winner last season, is hitting .258 with three homers and 10 RBIs in 32 games. He spent time on the injured list earlier this season with a bruised left hip.
