Padres Rally Late to Edge Blue Jays | San Diego Padres News

The Padres pulled off a wild 8-7 thriller against the Blue Jays, turning early chaos into clutch heroics. Eleven walks in the first two innings set the stage, but it was massive late homers — including a game-tying three-run blast from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and a decisive solo shot from Ty France — that sealed the win. Sung-Mun Song stepped in for injured Manny Machado and delivered with a key two-run single and a stellar defensive play, proving his value. But the pitching woes lingered: Walker Buehler struggled through just two innings, and Bradgley Rodriguez gave up the tying homer, exposing a bullpen stretched thin by injuries. It was a win that flashed promise — but also underscored the critical need for starters to go deeper to give the bullpen a chance to breathe.
