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. Key stat The Brewers left 10 men on base and went 1 of 9 with runners in scoring position. Up next RHP Stephen Kolek (3-1, 3.47 ERA) starts for the Padres and LHP José Quintana (4-1, 2.77) pitches for the Brewers when this three-game series continues Saturday. ___ AP MLB:

Fan secretly snags Aaron Judge home run ball before guilty conscience kicks in
A New York Yankees fan had the opportunity to go home with an awesome souvenir, but the goodness of his heart got to him. Before the Bronx Bombers posted a 10-run seventh inning against the San Diego Padres, Aaron Judge struck with another homer, a solo shot, to cut the Yanks' deficit to 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth inning. A fan snagged the short-porcher in his glove and immediately celebrated with his friends. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON However, as the gang jumped up and down in jubilation, the ball slid out of the fan's glove and rolled along the concrete on top of the right field wall. A fan next to the group noticed, and used his quick hands to snag it and put it right in his pocket. It's not known how long the fan had the ball, but someone sitting next to him returned the ball later on. Unless, the fans pulled off the ultimate ball swap. YANKEES SCORE 10 RUNS IN 7TH, THEIR MOST IN A SINGLE INNING IN A DECADE The Yanks scored again in the bottom of the frame, but allowed a run in the top of the seventh amid more bullpen woes. But, in the bottom half of the seventh, the Yanks went off for their biggest inning in a decade with 10 runs that was capped off by an Austin Wells grand slam. Former Yankee Wandy Peralta was charged with six earned in his two-thirds inning of work. As for Judge, the solo blast was his 12th of the year, which is now tied for the MLB lead along with Cal Raleigh and Kyle Schwarber. The reigning MVP also leads the majors with a .412 batting average (the next highest is teammate Paul Goldschmidt's .351), .503 on-base percentage, and .772 slugging percentage. He has reached base in 32 consecutive games. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP The Yanks and Padres wrap up their three-game set on Wednesday in the Bronx at 7 p.m. ET.
