<p>SAN DIEGO (AP) — Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to bring in Jake Cronenworth, and the San Diego Padres beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-3 on Monday night.</p>

<p>Former Padres right-hander Nick Martinez (10-12) started the 10th for the Reds and committed a throwing error on Freddy Fermín's bunt that moved Cronenworth, the automatic runner, to third. Tatis then lifted a fly ball to left field to drive in the run and was mobbed by his teammates near first base.</p>

<p>Jackson Merrill hit a tying, two-run triple with two outs in the sixth inning for the Padres. Wandy Peralta (6-1) got the last out in the top of the 10th.</p>

<p>San Diego came into the night one game behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. The Padres continue to hold the second of three NL wild-card spots, three games ahead of the New York Mets.</p>

<p>The Reds took a 3-0 lead on TJ Friedl's leadoff homer, Elly De La Cruz's RBI single in the third and Austin Hays' one-out shot in the sixth, all off Yu Darvish.</p>

<p>Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo pitched two-hit ball for five scoreless innings before Scott Barlow took over and allowed Tatis' leadoff single and Gavin Sheets' two-out RBI double. Barlow walked Ramón Laureano before making way for Brent Suter, who allowed Merrill's triple to right-center. Friedl, the center fielder, had the ball hit off his glove as he tried to make a running catch just inside the warning track.</p>

<p>The 39-year-old Darvish allowed three runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings.</p>

<p>Key stat</p>

<p>Darvish has allowed at least one homer in each of his last seven starts.</p>

<p>Key moment</p>

<p>Tatis provided the Padres with their seventh walk-off win of the season and third in extra innings.</p>

<p>Up next</p>

<p>Reds RHP Zack Littell (9-8, 3.81 ERA) and Padres RHP Michael King (4-2, 2.81) are scheduled to start Tuesday night. King will be activated from his second stint on the injured list (left knee inflammation).</p>
