Summary
The Padres looked dead. Then they nearly pulled off one of the craziest comebacks of the season. After Michael King delivered another quality start and Jackson Merrill tied the game with a mammoth home run, everything unraveled in a disastrous six-run eighth inning after Craig Stammen turned the game over to Wandy Peralta and Randy Vásquez. Down 7-1 entering the ninth, San Diego refused to quit. Gavin Sheets started the rally, Fernando Tatis Jr. ripped a two-run triple, Luis Rengifo stunned everyone with a two-run homer off Raisel Iglesias, and suddenly the Padres had the tying run at the plate before Atlanta finally escaped with a 7-6 victory.
