PADRES POSTCAST: PADRES SWEEP GIANTS: Tatis Leads 6-4 Win, Manny Homers as SD Wild Card Lead Grows

The San Diego Padres completed a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants with a 6-4 win, extending their winning streak to seven games and improving to 81-68 as the National League Wild Card race tightened around them.Fernando Tatis Jr. led the way with a huge day at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base. Jackson Merrill stayed hot with a two-run double in the 1st inning, while Manny Machado broke out of his recent slump with a 392-foot two-run home run in the 2nd as the Padres built an early 5-0 lead.Ethan Salas delivered one of the best moments of the game with a triple for his first hit as a Padre, then scored when Tatis followed with an RBI single to make it 6-2.Nick Pivetta worked through four innings, allowing two runs on five hits with five strikeouts, and the bullpen had to protect the lead the rest of the way. Wandy Peralta was outstanding in relief, throwing 1⅓ scoreless innings without allowing a hit or a walk, while Randy Vásquez handled the 8th and Yuki Matsui closed the game with a scoreless 9th for his first save.The sweep also came on a huge day in the standings. Arizona lost to Texas and Chicago lost to Pittsburgh, while Philadelphia won. San Diego now sits at 81-68, moves 2½ games ahead of Arizona for the final NL Wild Card, and is just 1½ games behind both Chicago and Philadelphia.We break down Tatis’ complete performance, Merrill and Machado’s big extra-base hits, Salas’ milestone moment, Peralta’s key relief work, and what this sweep means for the Padres’ playoff push.#Padres #SanDiegoPadres #PadresBaseball #Giants #MLB #FernandoTatisJr #JacksonMerrill #MannyMachado #EthanSalas #WildCard #LockedOnPadres🎙️ Padres Postcast with Host Jim "Gries" GrieshaberThe Padres head to Colorado to open up a 3-game series against the Rockies tomorrow, with 1st pitch set for 5:40pm.We will be here right after every game with your PADRES POSTCAST, hosted by Jim "Gries" Grieshaber.——-Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Aura CybersecurityStart your free trial today at https://aura.com/aware.  Protect yourself now.StanceCheck out the ICON collection from Stance—premium comfort, performance, and durability designed for whatever your day brings. Use promo Code LOCKEDON at checkout for 20% off your purchase.  Learn more at https://Stance.com.Stance.
