SAN DIEGO - Xander Bogaerts had three hits and three RBIs, and Mason Miller pitched a perfect ninth inning for the San Diego Padres, who beat the Seattle Mariners 4-1 on Tuesday night for their sixth straight win and ninth in 10 games.
Miller got Randy Arozarena to fly out to right field, struck out Luke Raley and induced J.P. Crawford to ground out to second base to record his fifth save and extend his scoreless innings streak to 29 2/3, the longest active streak in the majors and third-longest in Padres history. Miller has struck out 20 of his 27 batters faced.
The Padres took the early lead in the Vedder Cup, named after Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, who has ties to both cities. The teams, which share a spring training complex, formalized the competition last year, when the Mariners won the season series 5-1 to claim the trophy, a Fender Telecaster guitar signed by Vedder.
Seattle's four-game winning streak ended. Those victories were a home sweep against Houston.
Right-hander Michael King (2-1) held the Mariners to one run and four hits in six innings while striking out five and walking two. King loaded the bases with one out in the second on consecutive singles and a hit batter before Dominic Canzone hit a sacrifice fly. King then struck out Cole Young.
The Padres jumped ahead 3-1 in the third with four hits off Bryan Woo (0-2). Ramón Laureano tripled off the right-field wall with one out and scored on Fernando Tatis Jr.'s single to center. It was the 400th career RBI for Tatis, who was back in right field after starting two straight games at second base. Jackson Merrill followed with a single and stole second before Bogaerts hit a two-run single to center.
Woo allowed three runs and eight hits in seven innings.
Up next
Mariners RHP Emerson Hancock (2-1, 2.04 ERA) and Padres RHP Randy Vásquez (1-0, 1.02) are scheduled to start Wednesday night.
