Merrill, Tatis homer and Miller gets save as Padres fend off Giants 7-6
Michael King (11-9) worked around solo homers from Rafael Devers and Shay Whitcomb to pitch three-run ball over seven innings, but the Giants rallied against reliever Bradgley Rodriguez. Drew Cavanaugh led off with his first career homer, and Drew Gilbert added a two-run shot to get within a run.
Miller stifled the Giants from there, striking out two on 19 pitches for his 36th save.
The Padres entered the day a half-game ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks for the last NL wild card. Arizona was set to play later against the Texas Rangers.
In his second career start, Cesar Perdomo (0-1) surrendered five runs on 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Devers' shot in the first inning was the slugger’s seventh home run of the month. He is batting .342 with 19 RBI and a .456 on-base percentage in September.
Xander Bogaerts added four hits in five at-bats for San Diego while Austin Hays added two hits.
