SAN DIEGO—Jurickson Profar homered and reliever Jeremiah Estrada extended his club-record strikeout streak to 13 consecutive batters, the most in Major League Baseball’s expansion era, as the San Diego Padres gained their third straight win with a 4–0 victory over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night.

Estrada achieved his milestone by striking out the side in the ninth inning. He celebrated by pounding his chest and glove, and blowing a kiss to the sky. A few minutes later, he got a Gatorade shower from his teammates.
