<p>SAN DIEGO (AP) — Dylan Cease was impressive for six innings before San Diego's All-Star-laden bullpen got into and out of trouble in the seventh and the Padres beat the Boston Red Sox 6-2 on Sunday to take two of three.</p>
<p>The Padres have won 11 of 14 games as they continue to chase the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.</p>
<p>Cease (5-10) cruised into the seventh with a shutout on just three singles and a walk before walking Jarren Duran and allowing a single to Trevor Story.</p>
<p>All-Star Jason Adam came on and hit Masataka Yoshida with his first pitch to load the bases and then two runs scored when shortstop Xander Bogaerts committed a fielder error on a potential double-play grounder by Romy Gonzalez. Wilyer Abreu singled to load the bases again before Adam struck out Ceddanne Rafaela and pinch-hitter Abraham Toro.</p>
<p>All-Star Adrian Morejon came on and struck out rookie Roman Anthony to end the inning.</p>
<p>Cease allowed four runs, two earned, on four hits while striking out seven and walking two.</p>
<p>San Diego scored its first five runs with two outs, with starter Brayan Bello (8-6) on the hook for all five.</p>
<p>Luis Arraez hit a two-run double in the third, Fernando Tatis Jr. added an RBI single in the fifth before being thrown out trying to stretch it into a double and Bogaerts — who played for Boston from 2013-2022 — singled in the sixth before stealing second base. Bello then walked the bases loaded and made way for Chris Murphy, who walked Jake Cronenworth to give San Diego a 5-0 lead.</p>
