ATLANTA (AP) — Matt Waldron struck out a career-high 10 and the San Diego Padres bounced back after being swept in their last series, beating the Atlanta Braves 3-1 on Friday night.
Waldron (2-5) gave up one run and five hits and walked two in 5 2/3 innings. He kept the Braves off the board after giving up three hits and a run in the first inning.
“Sure, (the first inning) was shaky, but it just means I had to make some adjustments,” Waldron said.
Jurickson Profar was 2 for 5 with an RBI and a run scored, and Jake Cronenworth was 3 for 5 with an RBI for the Padres, who had 13 hits — all singles.
Jeremiah Estrada recorded his first save of the season with a three-strikeout ninth after the Padres used closer Robert Suarez in the eighth against the heart of the Braves’ order. Padres manager Mike Shildt said he told his closer before the game he may be used earlier.
