(AP Photo/Gregory Bull) SAN DIEGO (AP) — Martín Maldonado hit a tying home run in the fifth off San Diego native Trevor Williams and Jose Iglesias brought in the go-ahead run with a bases-loaded groundout in the sixth as the Padres beat the Washington Nationals 4-3 on Tuesday night. The bottom four batters in the Padres' order each drove in a run. Advertisement Padres rookie right-hander Ryan Bergert was forced out in the fourth after being hit on his pitching elbow by a 103-mph line drive by Jacob Young. Bergert bent over for a minute with his arm pulled in tight and then popped up and grabbed the ball, which landed near the rubber. He threw to first but Young beat it out for an infield single. After being checked by a trainer, Bergert came out. He was replaced by Adrian Morejon. Young eventually scored on James Wood's grounder to give the Nationals a 3-0 lead. Wood, a former Padres' prospect, also drew a bases-loaded walk in the second. The Padres began their comeback when they scored twice off Williams in the fourth, on Xander Bogaerts' groundout and Jake Cronenworth's RBI double. Advertisement Maldonado, the No. 9 hitter, tied it with a homer to left-center, his fourth. Williams was chased after walking the first two batters in the sixth and Cole Henry came on and walked the bases loaded. But the Padres got only one run, on Iglesias' groundout. Williams (3-9) allowed four runs and four hits in seven innings, with three walks and one strikeout. Jason Adam (6-3) got the win and Robert Suarez pitched the ninth for his 22nd save, tied for the most in the majors. Key moment Suarez struck out Wood to end it. Wood had three hits and four RBIs in Washington's 10-6 win Monday night. Key stat Advertisement Morejon has a 1.15 ERA in the 17 career relief outings he's been asked to get six-plus outs. That includes an active 18-inning scoreless innings streak across the seven such outings since Oct. 3, 2022. Up next Nationals LHP MacKenzie Gore (3-7, 3.19 ERA) and Padres RHP Nick Pivetta (7-2, 3.64) are scheduled to start the series finale Wednesday. Gore was one of six players acquired from San Diego for Juan Soto on Aug. 2, 2022. ___ AP MLB:

(AP Photo/Tony Ding) SAN DIEGO (AP) — James Wood had a three-run homer among his three hits, drove in four and scored three times for the Washington Nationals, who beat the San Diego Padres 10-6 on Monday night. Josh Bell also homered and finished with three RBIs. CJ Abrams had three hits and scored three times, twice on hits by Wood. Advertisement Wood, Abrams and Bell were involved in the blockbuster trade that sent Juan Soto from Washington to the Padres on Aug. 2, 2022. Bell came over with Soto while Abrams and Wood were among the six players the Padres sent to Washington. Abrams was a rookie and Wood a prospect. The Padres traded Soto to the New York Yankees in December 2023. This was Wood's first game at Petco Park. Wood broke open the game with a three-run shot off the right-field foul pole against Yuki Matsui in the eighth inning. Abrams and Daylen Lile were aboard for Wood's 22nd homer. Bell's 10th homer sailed into the second deck in left in the ninth. Advertisement Abrams reached on a two-base throwing error by starter Stephen Kolek (3-3) leading off the fourth and scored on Wood's single. Luis García Jr. doubled, Nathaniel Lowe hit an RBI single, Bell hit a sacrifice fly and Brady House added an RBI single. Washington added two runs in the fifth with five straight one-out singles. Abrams' hit chased Kolek, and García and Bell hit RBI singles off Wandy Peralta. Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a 435-foot, three-run homer in the ninth for the Padres. Manny Machado homered leading off the fourth and Jake Cronenworth connected leading off the seventh. It was Machado's 13th overall and seventh in June. It was Cronenworth's sixth and Tatis' 15th. Nationals starter Mitchell Parker (5-8) allowed three runs and six hits in six innings. Advertisement Key moment Wood's big night no doubt had Padres fans wondering what would have been if he hadn't been involved in the Soto trade. Key stat Machado has 1,990 career hits and 355 homers. He can become the 12th player to reach 350 homers and 2,000 hits at age 32 or younger. Up next Nationals RHP Trevor Williams (3-8, 5.54 ERA), a San Diego native, and Padres RHP Ryan Bergert (1-0, 1.88) are scheduled to start Tuesday night. ___ AP MLB:
