## Resource

The Padres erupted for thirteen runs and sixteen hits in a thrilling offensive explosion, their first double-digit scoring game in fifty-seven contests. Small ball tactics—bunts, steals, and smart base running—set the tone early, with Fernando Tatis Jr. turning a balk into two runs in the fifth. Manager Craig Stammen praised Tatis’ impact beyond the batter’s box and emphasized the team’s strategy of manufacturing runs early and exploiting the bullpen. Michael King delivered a gritty six-inning quality start, while the return of Jake Cronenworth and Luis Campusano added crucial firepower and depth to an already dynamic lineup.
