The San Diego Padres had the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning and Xander Bogaerts cramped up on a first-pitch strike. Bogaerts came out of the game and that gave Bryce Johnson an opportunity to put the ball in play and send the Friar Faithful home happy. Instead, Johnson struck out and thrust Jake Cronenworth into the role of hero.
Cronenworth delivered a single into right field on a 2-1 pitch from Texas Rangers reliever Robert Garcia, which drove in Jackson Merrill from third base and gave the Padres a 3-2 walk-off win over the Rangers at Petco Park, Friday.
