Padres start fast, finish strong in overpowering O’s

Fernando Tatis Jr. pulled David Hess’ first 94 mph fastball over the wall in left-center. Franmil Reyes drilled the next 433 feet to center field.

Nothing like a little history to get the Padres off on the right foot.

The Padres homered on the first two pitches of a game for the first time in franchise history, Eric Hosmer homered twice, struggling rookie Luis Urias joined the party with his first of the year and Chris Paddack threw 5 1/3 solid innings as the Padres blitzed the Orioles, 8-1, in hopes of winning their series since the All-Star break.
