Kyle Higashioka meets surfing legend Rob Machado in clubhouse after game; Jeremiah Estrada's illness has ripple effect in bullpen
Good morning, Kyle Higashioka was the hero the Padres needed. An inning earlier, they had lost the player who had practically single-handedly lifted them to numerous victories this season. They were running low on relievers. Higashioka ended last night’s game with one swing of the bat, leading off the ninth inning by hitting his fourth home run in his past five games.

” Jeremiah Estrada was home with severe flu-like symptoms, so when Vásquez was finished after five innings , Shildt had to figure out a different way to cover four innings and attempt to protect a two-run lead. Yuki Matsui was first up, and after a leadoff walk retired three straight batters. Left-hander Adrián Morejón then worked a perfect eighth in seven pitches, but that was all he would do because he was throwing on successive days for the first time this season.
