Padres End Skid with Machado Heroics | MLB News

The Padres snapped an eight-game losing streak with a thrilling 5-2 win over the Dodgers, thanks to Manny Machado’s three-run homer and strong pitching from JP Sears, who tossed five scoreless innings. Despite Shohei Ohtani’s birthday single and a heartbreaking debut for Dodgers catcher Eliézer Alfonzo amid family tragedy in Venezuela, LA’s offense sputtered. The game also saw a bizarre early ejection of Padres’ manager and infield coach. With the Dodgers’ sweep threat dashed and the Padres looking to build momentum, the stage is set for high-stakes matchups against the Rockies and Diamondbacks.
