SAN DIEGO—Jurickson Profar hit a three-run home run in the eighth inning, and the San Diego Padres rallied late to beat the Minnesota Twins 7–5 on Tuesday night.

“Hard-fought, back-and-forth game,” Padres Manager Mike Shildt said. “The guys did a really nice job of taking some really, really quality at-bats at the end of the game.”
