Padres avoid Dodgers sweep on Renfroe’s PH walkoff slam
Pinch-hitter Hunter Renfroe hit a walk-off grand slam homer off Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen with two out in the bottom of the ninth Sunday afternoon to give the host San Diego Padres an 8-5 victory to avoid being swept in a three-game series at Petco Park. Chris Taylor had put the Dodgers ahead 5-4 with a two-run homer in the top of the eighth off Padres reliever Robbie Erlin. Dodgers pitchers had held the Padres to three hits and retired 14 straight Padres -- including seven straight by strikeouts at one point -- when Eric Hosmer opened the bottom of the ninth with a single to left off Jansen, who had picked up saves in each of the first two games of the series.
