Padres Surge Powers Wild Card Push | San Diego Padres News

The Padres stunned the Braves with a big win fueled by Walker Buehler’s pitching and Manny Machado’s two homers, plus Fernando Tatis’ mammoth blast — a much-needed offensive surge for a team struggling to find consistency.

Machado’s breakout performance raises hopes for sustained momentum, especially as the Braves eye wild bullpen moves and Acuña’s return. Meanwhile, the Padres, despite owner’s passing and hefty contracts like Bogaerts’, aren’t expected to trade away their core — and with a wild card spot in sight, they’re betting on Machado and Tatis to keep the fire burning.
