A two-out rally stymied Jordan Jankowski in the second. Back-to-back doubles by Cody Overbeck and Diego Goris, batting eighth and ninth in the lineup, keyed the four-run frame. The Missions tacked on a run in the third and three consecutive singles kick-started the San Antonio fourth. McElroy hit a sac fly to left field, staking the Missions to a 6-0 advantage. Yeison Asencio hit into a force play at second, plating another run from third. Meanwhile, Padres right-hander Jesse Hahn, making a tune-up start for the second half, fashioned two scoreless frames. Joe Ross, making his Double-A debut, kept Corpus Christi off the board over his first three innings. In the sixth, Tony Kemp seared a one-out single to left and Ruben Sosa followed with a double into the left-field corner. Delino DeShields, Jr., hit a soft grounder to third, allowing Kemp to score. Andrew Aplin cracked a line drive into center that was lost in the lights by Liriano. Aplin's 45th RBI cut the Missions' lead to five. Travis Ballew allowed a run in the sixth but bounced back by retiring the last six men he faced. Telvin Nash belted his 15th home run, a lead-off shot to left in the seventh. The Hooks stranded seven and went 1-for-8 with men in scoring position.
