SAN DIEGO — After 20 innings without a run and with Jurickson Profar having improbably run into an out and down to their final chance, no one watching could have had much confidence the Padres would win Sunday.
Except Consuelo Buelvas, almost certainly viewing from some 3,000 miles away in Colombia.
She watches every Padres game she can and in a pregame conversation Sunday morning told her son to be ready, that even though he was not starting he would hit a home run.
