Padres Crush Twins, Tatis Shines | San Diego Padres News

The Padres crushed the Twins 8-1, with Fernando Tatis Jr. lighting up the scoreboard with four RBIs, two homers, and clutch hits — including a game-changing rally in the sixth inning. Manager Craig Stammen praised the team’s unified effort, from players to front office, as they roll toward the postseason. Walker Buehler anchored the pitching staff with six strong innings, continuing his hot streak since the All-Star break. Hitting coaches are getting major props for helping Tatis regain his rhythm. The Padres remain in the Wild Card hunt, holding a two-game lead for the third spot while trailing the Phillies by two games for first. Tonight, Robbie Ray looks to snap his Petco Park losing streak against Pirates’ Braxton Ashcraft — first pitch at 6:40 PM.
