Padres avoid sweep versus Yankees thanks to small ball

The Padres beat the Yankees on Sunday without the help of the home run.

A sellout crowd at Petco Park Sunday of 45,731 saw the San Diego Padres avoid a series weep with a 5 to 2 victory over the New York Yankees.

However, in the 6th inning the Padre offense finally woke up, thanks a combination of Yankee errors and infield hits. San Diego pushed 4 runs across. The first coming on a hard hit fielders choice by Jackson Merrill, the second run on a Ha-Seong Kim bunt that was misplayed by Anthony Rizzo, the third run on a single by Luis Arraez and the 4th run on a dribbler up the 3rd baseline by Fernando Tatis Jr. Only one ball was hit out of the infield in the inning by the Padres, the single by Arraez.
