Vsquez, Tatis lead the Padres to a 3-0 win over the Tigers to avoid sweep

SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Randy Vsquez and two relievers combined for a two-hitter,
and Fernando Tatis Jr. hit an RBI single and his stolen base led to another run
as the San Diego Padres beat the Detroit Tigers 3-0 Saturday night to avoid a
three-game sweep.
Vsquez (1-0) struck out eight and allowed two hits --- a single and double by
Colt Keith --- in six innings, with three walks. Kyle Hart struck out three in
two perfect innings and Mason Miller, who took over as closer after Robert
Suarez signed as a free agent with Atlanta, walked one and struck out two in
the ninth for the save in his season debut.
The Padres got to Jack Flaherty (0-1) in the third and fifth innings, getting
enough offense to avoid being swept in their opening series for the first time
since 2018 against Milwaukee.
San Diego had three straight two-out singles in the third, with Tatis' base hit
to right bringing in Freddy Fermin. Tatis, dropped from the leadoff spot after
the first two games to No. 2, stole second. Second baseman Gleyber Torres
couldn't handle the throw from catcher Jake Rogers and the ball skipped into
center field for an error, allowing Jake Cronenworth to score.
Flaherty walked three straight batters with one out in the fifth and made way
for Brant Hurter, who gave up Jackson Merrill's RBI fielder's choice.
Flaherty allowed three runs, two earned, and four hits in 4 1/3 innings, while
walking four and striking out two.
