Tommy Pham kicked things off with his 11th homer of the year, a line drive to right center in the first. Manny Machado hit a sac groundout, allowing Jake Cronenworth to score and the Padres led 2-0 after one.
Trent Grisham added another run in the second with a single that scored Musgrove and the Padres led 3-0.
Adam Duvall put the Marlins on the board in the home half of the second with a solo homer and the Padres led 3-1 after two.
The Marlins got closer with Jesus Aguilar’s double in the third to score Isan Diaz. The Padres kept a 3-2 lead after three.
Wil Myers added some insurance in the eighth with a fielder’s choice. The ball got past Sandy Leon at home, allowing two runs to score and the Padres were successful in taking a 5-2 lead to the end to win game two of the series and move to 58-42.
