SAN DIEGO — Play stopped momentarily in the eighth inning of the Blue Jays’ 6-3 win over the Padres last night after Petco Park swayed during an earthquake.

David Eckstein had just grounded out in the bottom of the inning when the stadium began shaking. The next batter, Chase Headley, stayed out of the batter’s box for a few seconds, then stepped in. The public address announced asked that everyone remain calm. The crowd cheered.
