DENVER -- Maybe, just maybe, it’s too early to write off these Padres. On Friday night it was. Staring down a six-game losing streak and a six-run ninth-inning deficit, the Padres rallied in improbable fashion for a 16-12, 12-inning victory over the Rockies at Coors Field. They mounted the largest DENVER -- Maybe, just maybe, it’s too early to write off these Padres. On Friday night it was. Staring down a six-game losing streak and a six-run ninth-inning deficit, the Padres rallied in improbable fashion for a 16-12, 12-inning victory over the Rockies at Coors Field. They mounted the largest ninth-inning comeback in franchise history, then tacked on five more runs in the 12th to win a 5-hour, 4-minute marathon. • Box score “I ain’t seen nothing like it,” said Wil Myers. “Shows what this team’s all about,” said Eric Hosmer. It was, quite simply, one of the wildest games in franchise history and arguably the craziest in baseball this season. Hunter Renfroe homered three times. Fernando Tatis Jr. sparked both rallies. Rookie backup catcher Austin Allen smashed the go-ahead double. The way baseball is designed -- with 30 different teams playing 162 games and doing so on a near-nightly basis -- most games fade into history. It’s rare that a mid-June regular-season game produces folklore like this. “That’s a special one,” said Padres manager Andy Green. “You don’t forget these.” Here’s every detail of one of the most memorable ninth-inning rallies in Padres history: Fernando Tatis Jr.: single off Mike Dunn Score: 11-5 Win probability: 0.8 percent Of course, Tatis was the spark. He’s been the spark all year long. To start the ninth, Tatis took ball one. Then Mike Dunn grooved a fastball, and the rookie phenom shot it into shallow left field for a single. “I’m not giving up,” Tatis said. “It’s still a ballgame. That’s why I’m not giving up — stuff like this today.” Tatis might not have given up. But he briefly forgot to “chop” at first base -- his signature move after every hit and a move that the entire team now replicates. Tatis reached first base, removed his shin guard, then heard some chirping from the Padres’ dugout. Even down six runs, they wanted him to chop. At long last, he obliged -- somewhat sheepishly. Josh Naylor: strikeout vs. Dunn Score: 11-5 Win probability: 0.3 percent Until the ninth inning Friday night, the Padres had played arguably their sloppiest game of the season. That included a sixth-inning miscue from Naylor that led to an inside-the-park, three-run homer for Ian Desmond. Later in that frame, the Padres allowed a run on a wild pitch. In the seventh, Manny Machado and Matt Wisler made errant throws that led to two runs. “It went from about as ugly as we could possibly play to as unbelievable as it could possibly be,” Green said. When Naylor struck out with a man aboard, the Padres’ win probability dropped to 0.3 percent. Manny Machado: single off Dunn Score: 11-5 Win probability: 0.6 percent Offensively, Machado has yet to be the force the Padres paid for this season. But he’s heating up. His four hits were a season high, and he homered for the third time in two nights. When Machado lined the first pitch he saw from Dunn into right field, the Padres were in business. “You get a couple guys on, you feel like you have a chance,” Hosmer said. “All of a sudden, the energy starts to turn up a little bit.” Read the full article
