Summary
The Padres struck first, but once again couldn’t make an early lead hold up on the road. Manny Machado and Ty France each homered, but Atlanta answered with home runs from Michael Harris II and Ozzie Albies as the Braves handed San Diego a tough 3-2 loss to open the four-game series. JP Sears pitched well through four innings before the Braves broke through in the fifth, while the Padres bullpen settled things down and kept the game within reach. In the end, San Diego’s offense couldn’t come up with the big hit, finishing 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position despite collecting seven hits. Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber breaks down another frustrating one-run loss, the turning point that flipped the game, why Atlanta’s bullpen shut the door, the continued hot streak from Ty France, Manny Machado’s big night, and what the Padres have to do to even this series tomorrow.
