BALTIMORE—Jurickson Profar hit a pair of two-run homers, the second of which broke a ninth-inning tie, to send the San Diego Padres to their sixth straight victory, 6–4 over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night.

Profar’s two-out drive in the ninth was the latest stumble by Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel (6–3), who blew saves in two of his previous three appearances and was booed by the Baltimore crowd after his inning of work Friday.
