Newcomer Bruce homers twice in Phils’ win over Padres

Jay Bruce wasted little time in making his presence felt with the Philadelphia Phillies.Two days after being acquired by the Phillies from the Seattle Mariners, Bruce hit two home runs, doubled and equalled his career high with six RBIs on Tuesday night to lead the struggling Phillies to a 9-6 win over the host San Diego Padres.The Phillies snapped a five-game losing streak. Earlier Tuesday, they learned that center fielder Andrew McCutchen will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL in his left knee. Bruce made his Phillies debut Monday night when McCutchen left the game.Bruce started on Tuesday and went 3-for-4, including his 15th and 16th homers of the season, and he scored three runs.Seven homers were hit in the game. Scott Kingery and pinch hitter Maikel Franco added solo home shots for the Phillies.Franmil Reyes hit two tape-measure blasts (426 and 438 feet) off the batter’s eye in center for the Padres, and Eric Hosmer added a two-run shot off Edgar Garcia in San Diego’s three-run eighth.Both of Bruce’s homers were notable. His two-run shot in the fourth erased a 2-1 Padres lead and put the Phillies ahead for good. That homer was also the front end of a set of back-to-back homers against rookie Padres starter Chris Paddack (4-4). Kingery followed with his fourth homer of the season.Bruce’s second homer, off left-handed reliever Brad Wieck in the fifth inning, was also the ninth grand slam of his career and shot the Phillies to an 8-2 lead. Right-hander Jerad Eickhoff (3-3) started for the Phillies and allowed three runs on four hits with five strikeouts and no walks over six innings. Closer Hector Neris got his 11th save.Paddack allowed six runs (five earned) on eight hits with four strikeouts and no walks in 4 1/3 innings. Paddack has allowed five homers in his past two starts, including a set of back-to-back home runs in both outings. Hyun-Jin Ryu continued his dominant pitching with seven scoreless innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers won their seventh consecutive game, a 9-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday in Phoenix.Ryu (9-1) allowed three hits, walked none and struck out two. He retired 12 in a row at one point, won his sixth consecutive start and lowered his ERA from 1.48 to 1.35. He has not allowed a run in five of his past six outings.Yimi Garcia and Scott Alexander each pitched a scoreless inning of relief to complete the Dodgers’ eighth shutout of the season and third in the past week. Los Angeles has won 11 of its past 12 games.Cody Bellinger hit a two-run triple off the top of the wall in center field in the first inning to stake Ryu to an early lead and extend his hitting streak to 11 games.Corey Seager doubled twice and drove in two runs for Los Angeles, which scored six runs in the final three innings. Enrique Hernandez had two hits, including an opposite-field homer to lead off the seventh for a 4-0 lead.Arizona starter Taylor Clarke (1-2) allowed three runs (two earned) and four hits in five innings. The rookie struck out four and walked two.Ryu, the National League Pitcher of the Month for May, twice worked around trouble due to shoddy defense, including two errors by Seager at shortstop.After a pair of two-out errors by the Dodgers in the first inning, Ryu got Christian Walker to tap back to him on a checked swing.In the seventh, the Diamondbacks had runners on first and third on a single and an error, but Ryu induced Nick Ahmed to hit into an inning-ending double play.Los Angeles made it 3-0 in the third, thanks to two Diamondbacks errors. First, second baseman Ildemaro Vargas booted a potential inning-ending double play.Then, with two outs and runners on the corners, Clarke’s wild pickoff throw to first allowed Joc Pederson to score from third.Diamondbacks right fielder Adam Jones left the game in the top of the fourth due to right hamstring tightness. Team officials said he is day-to-day.
