Padres Edge Nationals in Thriller | San Diego Padres News

San Diego Padres pull off a gritty 3-2 win over the Washington Nationals in a thriller that started with an unexpected gem from rookie pitcher Nick Pivetta, who tossed three strong innings before the bullpen took over. Tatis Jr. and Machado ignited the offense early, combining for key hits and runs, while the bullpen—Rodriguez, Morejon, and closer Mason Miller—shut down the Nationals’ late rally led by Dylan Crews’ solo homer.
