BALTIMORE (AP) — Rodolfo Durán homered and drove in three runs, Fernando Tatis Jr. had two RBIs and the San Diego Padres beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-2 on Sunday.
Walker Buehler (4-3) allowed one run in five innings for the Padres, who won consecutive games for the first time since May 22-23.
Batting ninth and coming in with a .133 batting average, Durán hit a bouncer off second base for an RBI double in the second inning and added a two-run homer in the seventh for a 4-1 lead. It was his third career home run, second in two games, and the three RBIs doubled his season total.
The weekend surge by the seldom-used rookie occurred after San Diego starting catcher Freddy Fermin was struck on the head by a warmup pitch Saturday and placed on the seven-day concussion injured list Sunday.
Buehler gave up six hits and struck out five to earn his first win in five starts since May 16. The Padres are 7-2 when the right-hander throws at least five innings.
Mason Miller, the fourth San Diego reliever, got four outs for his 19th save.
Jeremiah Jackson hit a solo homer for the Orioles. Trevor Rogers (3-7) took the loss despite allowing only two runs in six innings.
