Notes & reviews

Padres Cameron Maybin bunted and the ball bounced up to hit him on the right knee as he broke out of the box
Moustakas charged in for the slow roller and Hudson broke for third as the batter was thrown out. First baseman Hosmer tried to get Hudson at third, but the throw hit the sliding runner, who then continued to home
