Padres Surge with Merrill’s Homer | Madison News

Padres on fire, riding a 13-game win streak to stay one game behind the NL playoff race, capped by Jackson Merrill’s clutch two-run homer in the 7th — his 19th of the season and 9th since the All-Star break — as Yuki Matsui and Mason Miller (30 saves) shut down the Brewers’ rally. Milwaukee’s Christian Yelich gave them an early lead, but the Padres battled back and sealed it with a dramatic final play: a runner thrown out trying to steal second. With the Brewers’ hot starter Logan Henderson (6-0 before this loss) on the hook, the Padres turn to Walker Buehler to face Kyle Harrison in a must-watch Tuesday showdown as they keep pushing for postseason glory.
