Padres catcher Nick Hundley and manager Bud Black weren’t around to watch the impressive finish, both thrown out by home plate umpire Eric Cooper in the bottom of the sixth.
Henry Blanco, who had replaced Hundley, led off the 10th with his second single, then Headley hit a 1-1 pitch from Tony Pena (4-2) some 130m off a sign above the swimming pool in left-center.
