Summary
The San Diego Padres completed a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants with a 6-4 win, extending their winning streak to seven games and improving to 81-68 as the National League Wild Card race tightened around them. Fernando Tatis Jr. led the way with a huge day at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base. Jackson Merrill stayed hot with a two-run double in the 1st inning, while Manny Machado broke out of his recent slump with a 392-foot two-run home run in the 2nd as the Padres built an early 5-0 lead. Ethan Salas delivered one of the best moments of the game with a triple for his first hit as a Padre, then scored when Tatis followed with an RBI single to make it 6-2. Nick Pivetta worked through four innings, allowing two runs on five hits with five strikeouts, and the bullpen had to protect the lead the rest of the way. Wandy Peralta was outstanding in relief, throwing 1⅓ scoreless innings without allowing a hit or a walk, while Randy Vásquez handled the 8th and Yuki Matsui closed the game with a scoreless 9th for his first save.
