## Resource

The Padres crushed the Marlins 7-2, with Jackson Merrill lighting up the box score and Ty France driving in three runs — a huge win in a tight playoff race. With the Diamondbacks falling, San Diego’s wild card hopes are heating up, and they’ve got a critical stretch ahead against Miami, then the Rockies and Giants. Despite a brutal stretch since late May, the team’s grinding through with a bullpen-first approach and some smart innings from their starters. Merrill’s resurgence — including two opposite-field doubles and a stellar defensive play — is a bright spot as they fight to stay alive before the trade deadline.
