Gavin Sheets and Nick Castellanos hit homers off Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert and the San Diego Padres earned a 7-4 win at T-Mobile Park on Saturday night. Sheets opened the scoring with a solo home run in the top of the second inning to put the Padres up 1-0. With San Diego leading 2-0, Castellanos hit with a three-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to make the score 5-0. That was all the run support Walker Buehler would need. The right-hander allowed two runs on five hits over five innings of work. Buehler walked two and struck out six. Rodolfo Duran tacked on two runs in the top of the seventh inning with a two-run homerun, which was also his first hit in MLB. San Diego will look to complete the sweep of Seattle today at 4:20 p.m.
