SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Eric Sogard singled in the go-ahead in the top of the ninth off closer Craig Kimbrel, lifting the Oakland A's to a 6-5 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday and spoiling the debut of interim manager Pat Murphy.
Kimbrel (1-2) issued a two-out walk to Billy Burns, who stole second and scored on Sogard's ground ball single to center.
The game was played on the one-year anniversary of the death of longtime Padre and Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn. The Padres played a brief video tribute to the eight-time NL batting champion before the game.
