The San Diego Padres secured a 6-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park, completing a sweep of the series. Fernando Tatis Jr. led the charge with a three-hit, 2-RBI performance, while Manny Machado contributed a two-run homer and Jackson Merrill added a double to drive in another two runs. Ethan Salas made history by recording his first Major League hit, a triple that he scored on, marking the youngest player to achieve this milestone since Machado did in his MLB debut.
The Padres dominated the first four innings, posting 14 straight outs, before the Giants clawed their way back. Ethan Salas' triple in the fourth inning, coming off the wall in center field, proved pivotal as the Padres finished off the game with help from the bullpen, with Peralta, Vásquez, and Matsui pitching effectively.
