Nelson Hits 2 home runs in Padres Win
The exploits of third baseman Greg Nelson, who is tied for 9th in the NL in bases on balls with 59, helped the San Diego Padres defeat the Cincinnati Reds, 9-2. Nelson was 2-5 with 2 home runs and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Julio Urias, the winner, improved to 5-5. He held Cincinnati to 2 runs on 6 hits over 6.1 innings, while racking up 6 strikeouts. The setback makes Cincinnati 70-67.

Nelson Jorge had a big run-scoring double for the Padres in the top of the second inning. With San Diego leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a slider from Chris Sale, who is a seven-time All-Star, and swatted a double to right. It was his 3rd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Padres ahead, 2-0.

"We'll grab a cold beverage tonight and go after another win tomorrow," Nelson said.
