BALTIMORE — Jurickson Profar hit a pair of two-run homers, the second of which broke a ninth-inning tie to send the San Diego Padres to their sixth straight victory, 6-4 over the Baltimore Orioles. Profar's two-out drive was the latest stumble by Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel (6-3), who blew saves in two of his previous three appearances and was booed by the Baltimore crowd after his inning of work Friday. The Orioles had just scored two runs in the eighth to tie the game at 4 when Kimbrel came on. He allowed a one-out single and Profar's 18th homer of the year.
