Tatis angers Rangers with late slam in Padres’ 14-4 rout

“I didn’t like it, personally,” Woodward said. “But, like I said, the norms are being challenged on a daily basis. So just because I don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s not right. I don’t think we liked it as a group.”

Tatis, whose three-run homer in the seventh put the Padres up 10-3, said he got the message.

“I’ve been in this game since I was a kid,” he said. “I know a lot of unwritten rules. I was kind of lost on this. … Those experiences, you have to learn. Probably next time, I’ll take a pitch.”

The first homer was pulled into the San Diego bullpen in left-center field on the hardest hit of the season for Tatis at 113 mph, according to Statcast. The slam was to the opposite field and smacked a fan cutout in the fourth row.

“They were both pretty impressive,” Tingler said.

Austin Hedges connected on his second homer, a solo shot in the fourth, as the Padres set their season high for runs.

BIG INNING

Jurickson Profar had a two-run double in a five-run second inning. Jake Cronenworth, Josh Naylor and Trent Grisham had the other RBI hits in the second against Jordan Lyles, a free-agent pickup who has an 8.35 ERA in four Texas starts. Lyles (1-2) gave up seven hits and seven runs, six earned, in four innings.
