Padres’ star Fernando Tatis Jr. did it all to tie this series in New York on Tuesday. Tatis Jr. robbed the Mets’ star Francisco Lindor of a grand slam to sway the winds of the game, and if that wasn’t enough, the right fielder hit two homers to put San Diego over the top. The Padres started Robbie Ray, and he was in vintage form, going six innings while only giving up one run on three hits to improve to 11-7. Tatis Jr. drove in the first three runs of the game through the fifth on his two homers. Luis Torrens hit a solo shot in the fifth to end the shutout for the Mets, and Luis Robert Jr. hit another solo shot in the eighth to get the score to 4-2. But then Manny Machado hit a solo shot in the ninth inning to put the game out of reach.
