Padres rally in 9th vs Brews stalls, 9-game win streak ends

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brewers closer Josh Hader stopped San Diego's rally in the ninth inning and the Padres' nine-game winning streak ended Monday night with a 5-3 loss to Milwaukee.

Fresh off sweeping a nine-game homestand, the Padres trailed 5-0 going into the ninth.

Tommy Pham hit a two-run homer off Angel Perdomo in the ninth. Hader relieved with a runner on first and no outs, and gave up Eric Hosmer's RBI double with one out and then a walk.

Hader settled down to retire Austin Nola on a popup and Ha-Seong Kim on a lineout for his 11th save of the season.

Brandon Woodruff (3-2) gave up three hits over seven innings against a Padres team that had won 12 of 13. He struck out eight and walked none.

Woodruff hasn't allowed a run in three of his nine starts this season.

Manny Pina hit a two-run homer in the second off Blake Snell (1-1).

Avisail Garcia led off the fourth with a homer and Kolten Wong's two-out, two-run single later in the inning finished Snell.

Snell allowed a season-high five earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven.

HIURA RETURNS

Keston Hiura went 1 for 3 with a walk and scored a run as he returned to the Milwaukee lineup for the first time since being sent to Triple-A Nashville this month after batting .152 with a home run and five RBIs. In nine games for Nashville, Hiura hit .438 with six doubles and three home runs.

“Obviously, that first month wasn’t an ideal situation for me,” Hiura said. “It was more trying to clear my head, get things right. I knew things weren’t far off.”
