Luis Arraez singled in the tying and go-ahead runs against his former team, and Miami Marlins rookie 2nd baseman Ronny Simón's three errors helped the Padres storm all the way back from a 6-run hole for a wild 8-6 win at Petco Park.

Simón was charged with a 4th error but the scorer changed the call to a single by Xander Boegarts.

Miami took a 6-0 lead after sending 10 batters to the plate in the first against Stephen Kolek (3-1), who got through 5 1/3 innings for the win.

San Diego started its comeback when Fernando Tatis Jr. homered over the Petco Porch- his 13th homer- to leadoff the 1st inning off Miami starter Max Meyer.

Simón’s errors started in the 2nd when, with runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out, he dove for Tyler Wade’s grounder, it deflected off his glove for an RBI single and rolled into foul territory. He then chased down the ball and threw it away from catcher Agustín Ramírez, allowing another run to score.

San Diego pulled to within a run at 6-5 in the 3rd on Bogaerts' RBI single, and a Jake Cronenworth sacrifice fly.

Simón’s fielding error allowed Wade to reach leading off the 4th. Simón fielded Tatis' grounder and tried to force Wade at 2nd but his throw went over shortstop Javier Sanoja’s head for another error. Wade scored on Arraez’s single to tie it at 6.

Cronenworth’s leadoff single in the 5th led to him scoring the go-ahead run on Arraez's 3rd hit, a 2-out single to center.

Miami traded Arraez- a 3-time batting champ- to the Padres on May 4, 2024.

Jackson Merrill homered in the eighth, his 5th.

Jeremiah Estrada picked up the 4-out save, his 1st of the season.

Miami’s Cade Gibson (0-3) took the loss in just 1/3 of an inning of work.

It was just the 2nd time in team history that the Padres rallied to win after being down 6-0 after the top of the 1st.***** ‘LIVE’ Instant Reaction from Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber
