## Resource

The Padres took a brutal loss, falling 3-1 to the Diamondbacks despite Manny Machado’s 19th homer. Offense stalled after that early blast, leaving them five and a half games out of the Wild Card race — a gap that’s hard to climb with the deadline looming. Manager’s stubborn pitching strategy backfired, letting the starter go too long and letting the D-backs seize control. Machado’s power is still on point, but his .193 average is a concern — he’s on pace for 30 homers, but might need to raise his bat.
