The Padres fought back and then fought back again.
One of their stars departed, and then another of their stars departed.
They beat the Brewers 9-5 on Friday and will wait to see how long they have lost Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jurickson Profar.
The Padres’ third consecutive victory got them back to .500 a game before the season’s midpoint and bolstered their belief anything is possible.
“It’s just kind of what we’ve done all year,” said Jake Cronenworth, who went 5-for-5, scored four runs and drove in two. “An incredible job.”
Tatis left in the fifth inning with a bruised left tricep, suffered when he was hit by a Colin Rea pitch in the third. Tatis, who has been playing through a right quad strain for several weeks, had also looked severely hobbled while running in the outfield.
Profar, who has played more than a month with patellar tendinitis in his left knee, departed immediately after reaching second base on a one-out double in the seventh inning.
Shildt indicated neither player is expected to miss extensive time. Profar said he would take Saturday off but be able to play Sunday.
Profar’s replacement running at second base, Jose Azócar, scored when Jake Cronenworth grounded a single through the left side for the first of the Padres’ three runs in the seventh, which gave them an 8-5 lead.
Cronenworth, whose walk-off homer decided Thursday’s series opener, tied Friday’s game 4-4 with a home run in the sixth. He also scored their first run, in the second inning, and finished 5-for-5.
The Brewers scored four runs and chased Padres starter Dylan Cease in the fifth inning before the Padres got to 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth on Luis Arraez’s two-run homer and took a 5-4 lead in the sixth when Manny Machado followed Cronenworth’s homer with a double and scored on Donovan Solano’s pinch-hit single.
They threw the lead away in the top of the seventh.
It wasn’t their beleaguered bullpen that did it. It was shortstop Ha-Seong Kim’s second throwing error of the game.
The bullpen, which was covering more than four innings for the sixth time in seven days, was fairly marvelous
Cease departed with two outs and two on in the fifth and the Brewers having already scored three times to take a 3-1 lead.
Tom Cosgrove, recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Friday, entered and allowed a run to score.
Tyler Black began the inning with a walk and stole second before Cease got his ninth strikeout.
Jackson Chourio followed with a grounder to shortstop that froze Black at second until Arraez tried to scoop Ha-Seong Kim’s bounced throw and had the ball get away from him. At that, Black ran to third.
He scored when Brice Turang sent a slow roller down the third base line that Manny Machado fielded and threw home. The throw was high, and by the time catcher Kyle Higashioka brought the tag down, Black had touched the plate.
Umpire Jansen Visconti called Black out, but the call was overturned on a replay review.
Singles by William Contreras and Christian Yelich followed, making it 3-1 and the corners before Cease struck out cleanup hitter Willy Adames with his 106th pitch of the night.
The first batter Crosgrove faced reached on catcher interference to load the bases. The next batter, Rhys Hoskins, hit a grounder down the third base line that Machado dove to stop but had no play on. That gave the Brewers a 4-1 lead.
The Padres had gone up 1-0 lead in the second inning on singles by Cronenworth and Machado and a fielder’s choice grounder by Jackson Merrill that scored Cronenworth.
Their comeback against Rea began with Higashioka’s two-out walk in the bottom of the fifth, which was followed by Arraez’s second home run of the season.
Cronenworth’s homer and Machado’s double ended Rea’s night with one out in the sixth, and left-hander Jared Koenig got an out before Solano dropped a single into center field.
Stephen Kolek came in to replace Cosgrove and yielded two one-out singles, the first by Yelich and the second Adames’ slow roller that stopped when it hit third base.
Sal Frelick followed with a grounder to Kim, who stepped on second base and then threw wide to first. The ball skipped to the side wall as Yelich ran home to tie the game 5-5.
After Cronenworth gave them the lead, singles by Machado and Merrill loaded the bases before a walk by Solano forced in Cronenworth and Kim’s fielder’s choice grounder forced in Machado.
Cronenworth’s final hit, a two-out double in the eighth, was followed by an RBI single by Machado.
Enyel De Los Santos replaced Kolek with one out and two on in the eighth and got an inning-ending double play. He then closed out the ninth, allowing only a two-out single and providing a second straight day of rest for weary closer Robert Suarez.
“That fourth run was huge,” Shildt said. “And De Lo did his job, which makes it a lot better.”
