Padres Stumble in Mets Clash | San Diego Padres News

The Padres took a hard hit after their first series loss this month, falling 4-2 to the Mets in a game that exposed shaky clutch hitting and a costly error in the eighth. Despite rookie Carson Benge’s two-run homer, the team went just 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position, and a double play opportunity missed in the eighth sealed their fate. A late rally in the ninth brought them close — a single, a walk, and a pinch-hit RBI single — but a ground ball double play ended it, leaving Fernando Tatis Jr. on deck. Still, the team’s grit remains intact as they regroup at home, determined to keep pushing forward in a tight playoff race.
