The score was tied at 2 in the sixth when Hoerner hit a liner to center off reliever David Morgan to drive in Nicky Lopez and Crow-Armstrong.
San Diego starter Walker Buehler gave up a two-run double to center by Swanson in the second. Swanson was removed at shortstop in the bottom half due to a left glute cramp.
