Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado each homered as the San Diego Padres beat the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3 on Thursday night, earning a split of a four-game series.

Reliever Adrian Morejon (7-3) pitched 1 2/3 innings to pick up his second win of the series, leading a bullpen effort that saw San Diego's relievers work 4 2/3 frames and give up just one run. Closer Robert Suarez got the last three outs for his 27th save, which leads the major leagues.

Eduardo Rodriguez (3-6) lasted four-plus innings for Arizona, permitting eight hits and four runs with two walks and three strikeouts. Padres starter Randy Vasquez toiled for 4 1/3 innings, giving up five hits and two runs. He walked four and fanned one.

The Diamondbacks initiated scoring in the third inning with two runs. Jake McCarthy drew a leadoff walk and reached third base on Alec Thomas' double. Jose Herrera and Corbin Carroll cashed them both in with sacrifice flies.

Tatis led off the San Diego third with his 16th homer, blasting a 3-2 cutter over the center field wall. The Padres tied the game in the fourth, when Jackson Merrill walked, reached third on Jose Iglesias' single and scored via Jake Cronenworth's RBI groundout.

Machado put the Padres ahead to stay in the fifth with his 16th homer, ripping a cutter to the seats in left field. Gavin Sheets followed with a single, his third hit of the night, and scored when Xander Bogaerts greeted reliever Juan Morillo with a double into the left field corner.

Arizona had chances in the seventh and eighth inning. Geraldo Perdomo cut the deficit to a run with an RBI double in the seventh, but Jason Adam stranded two when he induced a groundout from Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

The Diamondbacks got the tying run to third in the eighth, but Carroll looked at a called third strike from Jeremiah Estrada.

The teams combined to leave 23 runners aboard, 13 by San Diego.
