Díaz's walk-off single lifts the Padres to a wild 7-6 win against the Mets

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Elías Díaz singled with two outs in the ninth inning to bring in Jose Iglesias with the winning run, and the San Diego Padres beat the New York Mets 7-6 in a wild game Monday night to end their seven-game winning streak.

The Padres chased Díaz into shallow right field in celebration. Iglesias, who played for New York last year, reached on a bunt that new Mets reliever Gregory Soto (0-3) fielded and threw wide of shortstop Francisco Lindor, allowing Xander Bogaerts to take second. Iglesias advanced on Jake Cronenworth's bunt that forced Bogaerts at third and then scored on Díaz's single to left-center.

Ronny Mauricio tied the game for the NL East-leading Mets with a one-out homer in the ninth off All-Star closer Robert Suarez (3-4), who was trying for his major league-leading 31st save.

Padres starter Dylan Cease was hit in the back of the head by a one-hopper off Lindor's bat with one out in the third, but remained in the game after being checked by trainers. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected one batter later by plate umpire Emil Jimenez after Juan Soto took a called third strike.

The Mets took a 5-1 lead in the fifth when Mark Vientos hit his first career grand slam, one inning after right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. made a spectacular leaping catch to rob him of a two-run homer.

The Padres rallied for five runs in the bottom of the inning, on seven hits and a walk, as well as a break when reliever Huascar Brazobán was late covering first on Cronenworth's two-out shot to first baseman Pete Alonso that went for an RBI single.

The highlight was Luis Arraez's two-run homer high off the right-field foul pole followed by an epic bat flip.

It was the Padres' fifth walk-off win this season.

Mets LHP Sean Manaea (1-1, 2.19 ERA), who pitched for the Padres in 2022, is scheduled to start Tuesday night. The Padres hadn't announced a starter.

MONACO (AP) — Jannik Sinner's partnership with coach Darren Cahill is ending after a spell that saw the Italian win five Grand Slam titles and achieve the No. 1 ranking.

Sinner, currently sidelined by a knee injury, confirmed Friday that Cahill will leave and that Magnus Norman has been hired to join his coaching team starting next month, working alongside Simone Vagnozzi.

Cahill joined Sinner's team in June 2022 and had originally planned to step away after the 2025 season.

“Darren has been an incredibly important part of my journey. Together with Simone and the whole team, we have achieved things I dreamed of growing up,” Sinner said in a statement. “Winning five Grand Slam titles and reaching world No. 1 together are achievements I will always treasure, but what means just as much is the relationship we have built along the way.”

Sinner has not played since July when he beat Alexander Zverev in the Wimbledon final. He withdrew from the U.S. Open because of a right knee injury.

Sinner announced last month that his season was over. This week, Zverev took over the No. 1 ranking.

The 25-year-old Sinner credited Cahill for “his honesty and his dedication.”

Cahill thanked Sinner and the whole team “for welcoming this Aussie into the wonderful Italian family.”

“Working with Jannik has been a special honor and privilege. He’s an amazing young man and a humble dedicated champion that we are all incredibly proud of,” Cahill wrote. “Trust, honesty and belief only work when it’s exchanged both ways, and this has been Jannik’s strength as an athlete. It’s also the reason that makes coaching someone like him such a memorable experience.”

Norman, a Swede who reached No. 2 as a player, formerly coached three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka.
