SAN DIEGO — Trea Turner shattered his bat on the 97-mph fastball that he dropped into right-center with one out in the first inning. Two batters later, Alec Bohm ambushed a first-pitch slider and yanked it over the wall in left.

The proverbial bloop and a blast.

That’s all it took to knock Dylan Cease off his game.

The second and third hits that Cease has allowed to right-handed hitters this year got the Phillies started on a 5-1 win in front of a sellout crowd of 43,018 at Petco Park on Saturday evening, the Padres’ third loss in a row.

Cease wound up coughing up five of the Phillies’ six hits off him to right-handed hitters, stumbling to five runs allowed in six innings while Ranger Suarez extended his scoreless innings streak to 32 with eight dominant frames against the Padres.

The Phillies left-hander who won a game and saved a game in their 2022 NLCS meeting scattered three hits without walking a batter. That kind of command rendered first- and third-inning singles from Jurickson Profar and Jose Azocar harmless. By the time Eguy Rosario touched Suarez for a two-out solo homer in the eighth, snapping a string of 15 consecutive outs, the Phillies’ offense had built him a 5-0 lead.

Suarez tied a season high with eight strikeouts and threw 64 of his 96 pitches for strikes.

Before Saturday, the last hit that Cease had allowed to a right-handed hitter was Tom Murphy’s double in the second inning of his first start of the season against the Giants on March 30, making them 1 for 52 with five walks before Turner stepped to the plate with one out in the first inning.

He hardly deserved the ensuing bloop, the result of reaching outside the strike zone on a 97-mph four-seamer that splintered his bat and dropped a ball into right-center.

Bohm, however, deserved his reward after offering at a one-out, center-cut slider to stake the Phillies to a 2-0 lead. The blast was Bohm’s third during an 11-game hitting streak in which he’s 22 for 43 after driving in four runs on two hits Saturday.

His second hit on Saturday was a two-run single that opened up a 5-0 lead in the fifth. Turner also singled, again softly, in the fifth ahead of a four-pitch, bases-loaded walk to Bryce Harper, setting up Bohm’s dam-breaking single.

Cease followed with a scoreless frame and exited after five runs allowed, one more than his previous three starts combined. He struck out five and walked three.

The outing, combined with Joe Musgrove allowing seven runs in Friday’s loss, marked the first time this season that Padres started have allowed five runs in back-to-back games.

Adrián Morejón closed the game with five strikeouts over three shutout innings.
