<p>SAN DIEGO — Omar Narvaez hit a two-run homer and Jace Peterson added a solo shot for the Milwaukee Brewers, who beat the San Diego Padres 4-2 Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep.</p>
<p>San Diego right-hander Dinelson Lamet left his season debut after two scoreless innings due to right forearm tightness. The Padres closed out a 1-5 homestand with their seventh loss in nine games overall.</p>
<p>Milwaukee pitchers allowed only three runs in the series. Adrian Houser allowed both San Diego runs Wednesday in 4 2/3 innings, and the bullpen shut out the Padres the rest of the way.</p>
<p>Padres manager Jayce Tingler was ejected in the eighth after he calmly walked out to argue balls and strikes with home plate umpire Tom Hallion.</p>
<p>The Padres loaded the bases in the eighth and ninth innings but failed to score. Eric Hosmer struck out to end the game, giving Josh Hader a hard-earned third save.</p>
<p>The Padres stranded 12 baserunners. They lead the NL with 162 runners stranded in 18 games.</p>
<p>Lamet appeared to be pitching well against the Brewers, striking out four after a single to start the game. He threw 19 strikes out of 29 pitches, reaching 97 mph on his fastball.</p>
<p>The 28-year-old Lamet had not pitched since leaving his final start of 2020 with elbow discomfort and missing the playoffs. He received multiple opinions that surgery wasn’t needed and underwent platelet-rich plasma therapy in the offseason.</p>
<p>Lamet had Tommy John surgery in 2018 and didn’t return until the second half of 2019.</p>
<p>His quick exit came a day after left-hander Adrian Morejon had Tommy John surgery.</p>
<p>Brent Suter (1-1) got the win with four strikeouts in 1 1/3 innings. Keone Kela (2-1) took the loss. </p>
<p>Narvaez connected for his third homer in the sixth, giving Milwaukee a 3-2 lead. Peterson hit an RBI single in the fourth and a two-out drive in the sixth.</p>
<p>BREWERS SIGN STRANGE-GORDON</p>
<p>Veteran utilityman Dee Strange-Gordon signed a minor league contract with Milwaukee and will be assigned to the team’s alternate training site.</p>
<p>“He gives us another infielder with experience,’’ manager Craig Counsell said. “We’ll get him going and he’ll be available to us if the needs arises.”</p>
<p>ROSTER MOVE</p>
<p>The Padres optioned left-hander Nick Ramirez to the alternate training site when they activated Lamet before his start.</p>
<p>TRAINER’S ROOM</p>
<p>Brewers: SS Luis Urias remains sidelined after injuring his right calf when he hit a home run Monday night.</p>
<p>Padres: OF Wil Myers was out of the starting lineup for the fourth time in the last eight games because of inflammation in his right knee, but he pinch-hit in the eighth inning and struck out. </p>
<p>UP NEXT</p>
<p>The Brewers get a day off before starting a three-game series at the Chicago Cubs on Friday. LHP Brett Anderson (2-1, 2.65 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Brewers vs. RHP Kyle Hendricks (0-2, 6.92).</p>
<p>The Padres start a four-game series at the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. Ryan Weathers (1-0, 0.93 ERA) is schedule to start for the Padres against RHP Walker Buehler (1-0, 2.00 ERA).</p>
