Padres 8, Marlins 3 (11 innings)
MIAMI -- First baseman Yonder Alonso, a former University of Miami standout, forced in the winning run with a bases-loaded walk in the top of the 11th inning to lead the San Diego Padres past the Miami Marlins 8-3 on Friday night at Marlins Park.
Alonso walked on four pitches from Marlins closer A.J. Ramos, who got into the jam by allowing center fielder Will Venable to stroke a leadoff single. Venable stole second and advanced to third when catcher J.T. Realmuto's throw got away.
San Diego scored five runs in the inning, including a two-run single by second baseman Jedd Gyorko, who finished the game with three RBIs.
Venable singled twice in the 11th -- his only two hits of the night.
The Padres would have won in the ninth if not for a blown save by closer Craig Kimbrel, who got the first two outs before giving up a game-tying, solo home run to left fielder Derek Dietrich.
Kimbrel, seeking his 31st save of the season, gave up the home run to Dietrich on a 97 mph fastball. Dietrich pulled a 1-1 pitch to the upper deck in right field.
Before that pitch, the story had been Padres right-hander Ian Kennedy.
On the day his fourth daughter was born, Kennedy doubled, scored a run and pitched seven strong innings, allowing four hits, two walks and two runs.
With the 4 p.m. ET trading deadline looming, Kennedy was mentioned often as one of the players the Padres could decide to move. But no trade for Kennedy was made.
When his wife, Allison, went into labor, he was scratched from the start so he could go home. But he was put back on the lineup card when rainy conditions in Miami made it impossible for him to get out of town in time.
While he was pitching, his daughter, Evelyn Nicole, was born.
Kennedy, perhaps lacking a bit of focus early, fell behind 2-0 in the first inning.
Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon led off by drawing just his 13th walk of the season. He stole second -- steal No. 34 of the year -- and scored on center fielder Christian Yelich's homer over the 418-foot sign in center. It was his sixth homer of the season.
Kennedy led off the third with his double to right, fouling off four two-strike pitches in an impressive 10-pitch at-bat. Kennedy then scored on a one-out single by third baseman Yangervis Solarte.
San Diego took a 3-2 lead in the fourth, getting an RBI single from Gyorko and a sacrifice fly from shortstop Alexi Amarista.
