King Bounces Back, Padres Dominate | San Diego Padres News

Michael King battled back from an early two-run homer to pitch seven solid innings, allowing just two earned runs, as the Padres surged to their sixth straight win. The offense exploded in the first six innings, fueled by Dustin Harris’ two-run single, Jackson Merrill’s 25th home run (and 25th stolen base), Samad Taylor’s hustle, and Fernando Tatis Jr.’s blast. Jake Cronenworth’s squeeze bunt added insurance. Despite a shaky eighth, the bullpen locked it down, proving the Padres’ resilience and firepower keep them hot in the Wild Card race.
