Crooks followed with a double to left-center for a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iv\u00e1n Herrera walked with two outs in the fifth and advanced on a wild pitch before scoring on Burleson&#8217;s double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Giolito (2-2) allowed three runs and seven hits in five innings of relief after opener\u00a0Wandy Peralta\u00a0pitched a scoreless first.\u00a0Kyle Hart\u00a0gave up one hit over two innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hart was recalled from Triple-A El Paso when the Padres placed closer\u00a0Mason Miller\u00a0on the bereavement list.
