Yankees Edge Padres in Game 2 | New York Yankees News

The Yankees crushed the Padres 5-1 in Game 2, exploding offensively in the first three innings and shutting down San Diego’s offense after the fourth. Manny Machado’s solo homer was the only real threat for the Padres, while Ben Rice and Spencer Jones kept the offense rolling with key hits and runs. Despite missed opportunities to extend the lead, the bullpen locked it down—using just one high-leverage arm and even getting solid work from rookie John Schreiber. With the series tied and the Rays winning their game, tomorrow’s finale against Gerrit Cole vs. Michael King could be a pivotal moment for the Yankees’ confidence as they head into the next stretch.
