    “It’s going to be fairly sore,” Padres manager Mike Shildt said. “We’ll check in on him tomorrow and kind of go from there.”

    Tatis hit a 446-foot home run in Thursday night’s 7-6 win in the series opener. It was his team-high 14th.

    Left fielder Jurickson Profar also left after hitting a double in the seventh. He’s been dealing with patellar tendinitis in his left knee for several weeks.

    “Some days are better than others,” Shildt said. “He was in that moment where I appreciate it, he was like, ‘Man, it doesn’t feel great.’ Again, more grit, more heart.”

    The Padres beat the NL Central-leading Brewers 9-5 for their third straight win.
