For a second straight day a sterling performance on the mound was spoiled by a blown save. This time around the Padres failed to come away with the win.
Victor Reyes doubled off the wall in right field in the ninth inning, driving in a pair of runs to beat the Padres 4-3. Taylor Rogers was charged with a blown save for a second straight game.
On Tuesday it kept Mike Clevinger from getting a win after a seven inning, two run performance. In Wednesday's finale Yu Darvish extended his streak of seven-inning quality starts to four. Darvish threw 106 pitches, struck out 11 while allowing six hits, one walk and two earned runs.
