Padres rain hell on the Giants in the form of dingers, win 6-5

Eric Lauer cruised through the first 3 innings of this start, but once the rain start he seemed to really struggle.

In the bottom of the 4th he gave up a single and a walk to the first two batters, an RBI single, and eventually this grand slam that gave the San Francisco Giants a 5-0 lead.

In years past, a 5-0 lead in a pitcher’s park in the rain on the road meant that the San Diego Padres were all but done. Not this year!

BOOM! The slumping Franmil Reyes stepped up in a pinch-hit situation and hit this one to Napa Valley to give the Padres a 6-5 lead!
