SAN DIEGO (Interstat) — Manny Machado delivered a game-tying single and Ty France followed with a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, lifting the San Diego Padres to a 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon at PETCO Park.

The win gave the Padres a split of the three-game series after they lost the opener 5-3 on Friday and won 8-7 on Saturday. San Diego improved to 48-48, while Toronto fell to 45-51.

Attendance was 41,675 with a game time of 2 hours, 32 minutes.

San Diego answered in the bottom of the second. Machado singled, and after Gavin Sheets walked, Ty France singled to load the bases. Jake Cronenworth singled to left field, scoring Machado to tie the game at 1-1. With the bases still loaded, Rodolfo Duran popped out. Sung-Mun Song then walked, forcing in Sheets to give the Padres a 2-1 lead. Fernando Tatis Jr. struck out and Jackson Merrill struck out, but during Song’s walk, Ty France moved to third and Cronenworth to second. Merrill’s strikeout ended the inning with San Diego ahead 3-1.

Toronto tied the game in the fourth inning. After two quick outs, Andres Gimenez doubled to right field. Ernie Clement followed with a two-run home run to left field, his eighth, scoring Gimenez to make it 3-3.

Toronto broke the tie in the top of the eighth inning. With one out, Daulton Varsho reached on a force out and moved to second on a groundout. San Diego pitcher Adrian Morejon intentionally walked Alejandro Kirk. Jonatan Clase then singled to center field, scoring Varsho and giving the Blue Jays a 4-3 lead.

Then, with one out, Ty France hit a sacrifice fly to center field, scoring pinch-runner Jase Bowen to give San Diego a 5-4 lead. Cronenworth singled, but Duran flied out to end the inning.

San Diego closer Mason Miller worked a perfect ninth inning, striking out Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to end the game. Miller earned his 25th save of the season.

Adrian Morejon (7-2) got the win despite allowing one run on two hits over two innings. He struck out one and walked one intentionally. Toronto reliever Jeff Hoffman (5-6) took the loss after surrendering two runs on two hits in the eighth inning.

For San Diego, Machado went 3-for-4 with one RBI. Bogaerts had one hit in four at-bats.

For Toronto, Clement went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBIs. Lukes was 1-for-4 with a home run. Gimenez doubled and scored once. Clase had two hits and an RBI. Guerrero Jr. walked and struck out twice. Okamoto doubled and walked.

The most critical sequence came in the bottom of the eighth. After Toronto had taken a one-run lead, the Padres quickly tied the game on Machado’s single and took the lead on France’s sacrifice fly. The rally erased Toronto’s momentum and gave San Diego its first lead since the second inning.

The Blue Jays had won the first game of the series and had a chance to take a series win with a victory Sunday, but the Padres’ late comeback evened the set. Toronto returns home to face the Chicago White Sox on Friday, while San Diego travels to Kansas City for a three-game series starting Friday.
