San Diego placed runners at first and third with one out in the fifth and Austin Nola responded with a fielder's choice and an RBI for a 1-0 lead. Grisham flied out to left to end the inning.
Eflin escaped further trouble in the sixth when he pitched out of a jam with runners on first and third with one out in the sixth. Eric Hosmer broke his bat and lined out softly to second and Profar flied out to right.
The Padres went ahead 2-0 in the seventh when Cano singled to left and the ball went under Kyle Schwarber's glove and all the way to the wall. Wil Myers came around from first to score. Grisham then responded with an RBI double to right for a three-run lead.
Castellanos singled with out in the seventh and Jean Segura followed with a single to extend his hitting streak to 13 in a row. Odubel Herrera popped out and J.T. Realmuto grounded out to strand the runners.
