King’s Grit Powers Padres’ Rally | San Diego Padres News

Michael King battled through a rough start—walking the first three batters and giving up a run—but settled in for six strong innings, showcasing the grit that’s defined his season. The Padres’ starters are on fire lately, matching a rare three-game streak of five-plus innings and two runs or fewer, a sign of resilience that’s lifting the team. Offensively, they exploded for five runs in the ninth, hitting for the cycle in a dramatic rally, but fell short in the end, losing 7-6. Fernando Tatis Jr. benefited from a double steal, and Luis Rengifo hit his first home run of the year in the rally, but couldn’t seal the win. With the wild card race tightening, the Padres face another Braves team today and need offense to step up early—or risk falling further behind.
