Samad Taylor knocked in three runs Monday night while Freddy Fermin homered as the San Diego Padres came from behind to post a 6-2 win over the visiting Cincinnati Reds.

San Diego trailed 2-1 before Xander Bogaerts started a two-run seventh with a double off Andrew Abbott (4-4). Gavin Sheets slapped a game-tying double into the left field corner, knocking out Abbott in favor of Tejay Antone.

Jace Bowen bunted for a hit that advanced Sheets to third and Taylor followed by bunting a 3-1 pitch toward first baseman Sal Stewart. He tried to throw Sheets out at the plate but bobbled the ball and couldn't get off a throw.

Taylor broke the game open in the eighth by looping a two-run single into left, then stole second and scored when Fermin lined an RBI single to center.

Reliever Adrian Morejon (5-1) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings as San Diego won for just the third time in 14 games. Padres starter Walker Buehler gave up eight hits and one run in 4 2/3 innings, walking two and fanning four.

Abbott suffered his first loss in five career starts against San Diego, yielding four hits and three runs in six-plus innings while walking two and striking out six. It was the fifth consecutive loss for Cincinnati, which was 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and stranded nine baserunners.

San Diego initiated scoring in the bottom of the third when Fermin lofted a solo homer to left that traveled an estimated 376 feet. It was Fermin's third homer, all in the last three games.

Cincinnati tied the game in the top of the fifth with a two-out rally. JJ Bleday rifled a double to right-center and scored when Stewart grounded a single up the middle.

The Reds took a 2-1 edge in the sixth. Noelvi Marte singled and stole second, then moved to third on Matt McLain's flyout to Taylor at the warning track in left-center. After Tyler Stephenson walked, Morejon relieved Bradgley Rodriguez and yielded a sacrifice fly to center by Edwin Arroyo that scored Marte.

Bogaerts, Bowen, Taylor and Fermin each collected two of San Diego's 10 hits.
