SAN DIEGO (AP) — Ian Anderson pitched one-run ball into the sixth inning, Matt Olson hit one of Atlanta's three homers and the Braves beat the San Diego Padres 5-2 Saturday.
Anderson (1-1) allowed two hits and struck out seven over 5 2/3 innings.
Padres rookie starter Nick Martinez (0-1) was stung by the long ball. Ozzie Albies hit a solo shot on his second pitch of the game, giving him a homer in all three games of this series so far.
Olson and Marcell Ozuna also connected off Martinez, charged with four runs in five innings. Manny Piña also may have gone deep, but center fielder Trent Grisham made a sensational leaping catch at the wall in the second.
Jurickson Profar homered off Anderson in the second, and Grisham had a solo shot in the eighth. The Padres have lost four of five.
Kenley Janson pitched the ninth for his second save.
Piña had a two-out, RBI single in the fourth before Olson and Ozuna tacked on solo shots in the fifth.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Padres: Outfielder Wil Myers (right thumb soreness) missed Saturday’s game and will miss Sunday’s game with an injury that flared up in his final at-bat on Friday night. He is day-to-day and San Diego does not anticipate he will have an IL stint. ... Reinstated RHP Luis Garcia from the 10-day IL and options RHP Kyle Tyler to Triple-A El Paso.
UP NEXT
Braves: RHP Bryce Elder (1-0, 4.76) takes the hill in the series finale Sunday.
Padres: RHP Yu Darvish (0-1, 10.57) goes for his first win of the season.
