SAN DIEGO _ Austin Hedges, Eric Hosmer and Josh Naylor joined the Fernando Tatis Jr. party to salvage a game that had suddenly unraveled on the San Diego Padres bullpen.
Hosmer hit a one-out triple in the ninth inning and scored the tying run on Naylor's two-out single. Naylor then stole second base and scored on Hedges' single to give the Padres a 5-4 victory over the Washington Nationals on Friday night at Petco Park.
Adam Warren, the fifth Padres pitcher, allowed the Nationals the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth, ended up the victor. Matt Wisler had allowed the first three Nationals runs on four hits in the seventh.
To that point, only Tatis had created any runs for the Padres.
In his second game back from a 34-game absence because of a strained left hamstring, Tatis again manufactured a run with his feet and this time also drove in a couple with his bat.
After scoring from second base on a grounder in Thursday's 5-4 victory over the Nationals, Tatis hustled up a 1-0 lead for the Padres in Friday's first inning.
Following his single to right field, he advanced to second on Wil Myers' slow grounder back to the mound. With Manny Machado batting, Tatis stole third and then scored on Machado's ground ball to third.
He singled again in his second at-bat and then launched a two-run homer beyond the center field wall in the sixth inning to give the Padres a 3-0 lead.
Starting pitcher Nick Margevicius allowed one hit in the first and another in the third. When he surrendered a two-out single in the fourth, manager Andy Green walked to the mound and removed him from the game.
Miguel Diaz replaced Margevicius, got the final out of the fourth and pitched a scoreless fifth. After Adam Eaton's one-out triple in the sixth, Diaz got another out before he was replaced by Robbie Erlin, who got Anthony Rendon on a grounder.
