The Padres brought their winning ways to Mexico City -- their come-from-behind winning ways, to be more precise. In Saturday’s Mexico City Series opener, San Diego rallied from an early four-run deficit for a dramatic 6-4 victory over the D-backs at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú. The Padres got two homers from Ty France and rallied late, grabbing the lead with a four-run seventh. Then, they turned it over to their lights-out bullpen -- and Mason Miller made a bit of franchise history with his now-record 34 2/3-inning scoreless streak. Winners of six straight series, the Padres now own the best record in baseball (18-8) -- by percentage points over the Braves. And they’ve rarely done it the easy way. **More comeback magic** The Padres entered the day leading the Majors with four victories in games they trailed by at least four runs. Only one other team (the Orioles) even had three. They did it again. “So far this season, we’ve been able to come back,” said manager Craig Stammen. “I think once you feel that early in the season, that becomes a little bit of your identity and who you are. “So far, that’s been who we are.” With five comebacks of at least four runs, the Padres are one away from tying the all-time record for a single month. Only the 1930 New York Giants had more. They’re the first team with five such comebacks in an individual month since the Angels in July 2009.
