Summary
The Padres pulled off a thrilling 6-1 win over the Cardinals to avoid a sweep, with Fernando Tatis Jr. smashing a 111 MPH double and Jackson Merrill launching a two-run homer in the ninth. Griffin Canning earned his first win with efficient pitching, and Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts added key runs early. Off the field, the team released a veteran pitcher struggling in Triple-A, while another righty faces a two-game suspension — adding pressure as they head into their next series. Manager Craig Stammen also picked up a one-game suspension. And behind the scenes, a catcher who nearly quit baseball just a few years ago is now seizing his big league moment after barely eight Triple-A games this season.
