SAN DIEGO: When Jon Jay led off the bottom of the first Friday (Saturday in Manila) evening with a double, an air of invincibility seemingly began to dissipate from the mound at Petco Park. When Matt Kemp threw his hands at a 91 mph slider, lifting a high fly ball to center field, Jay watched it into the glove of Juan Lagares and charged down the third-base line. A moment later, Jay crossed home plate and, without breaking stride, jogged into the dugout and waded through a crowd of high-fives.
