PADRES POSTCAST: PADRES STUN TWINS! 5-1 Comeback Turns Into Signature 7-5 Win at Electric Petco Park

The San Diego Padres delivered one of their most memorable comeback wins of the season, erasing a 5-1 deficit to beat the Minnesota Twins 7-5 at Petco Park and secure the series victory.   The night started badly for San Diego. Casey Mize allowed three home runs in the first two innings, including shots from Luke Keaschall, Brooks Lee and Kaelen Culpepper. Mize later exited early after slipping on the dugout stairs and suffering a sprained right ankle.   Minnesota eventually built a four-run advantage, but the Padres bullpen kept the game alive.   Griffin Canning was enormous, working 3⅓ scoreless innings while allowing three hits and one walk. Adrian Morejon followed with a perfect eighth, and Mason Miller worked a perfect ninth for his 32nd save.   Then came the comeback.   Jackson Merrill homered earlier and added an RBI single in the sixth before San Diego exploded for four runs in the seventh inning.   The rally began when Freddy Fermín was awarded first base after the Padres successfully challenged a no-call for catcher’s interference. Fernando Tatis Jr. followed with a single before Jake Cronenworth ripped a two-run double to cut Minnesota’s lead to 5-4.   A Twins throwing error allowed Cronenworth to score the tying run, and Ty France delivered the go-ahead RBI single to make it 6-5.   Tatis added a huge insurance RBI single in the eighth before Miller slammed the door.   Cronenworth finished with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored, while Merrill went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, a run and a walk.   The victory also carries major postseason implications. Arizona lost 11-5 to Cincinnati, allowing San Diego to gain ground on the Diamondbacks, while Philadelphia beat St. Louis 12-3 to remain two games ahead of the Padres.   GRIES breaks down the four-run seventh, the Fermín catcher’s-interference challenge, Cronenworth’s huge night, Canning’s game-saving relief appearance, Mize’s injury and another remarkable Padres comeback.   #Padres #SanDiegoPadres #JakeCronenworth #FernandoTatisJr #JacksonMerrill #GriffinCanning #MasonMiller #MLB #PadresBaseball #Twins #WildCard #LockedOnPadres   🎙️Padres Postcast with Host Jim "Gries" Grieshaber   The Padres and Twins wrap up their 3-game series with game 3 tomorrow at Petco Park, with 1st pitch set for 1:10pm PT.   We will be here right after every game with your PADRES POSTCAST, hosted by Jim "Gries" Grieshaber. ——-   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
