  "summary": "Nick Pivetta returned from the injured list and made an immediate impact for the San Diego Padres, throwing five shutout innings in their 3-2 victory over the Washington Nationals. Pivetta, who had been sidelined since April 14 due to right elbow inflammation, allowed just two hits in his five innings and struck out two without walking any batters. The Padres' offense also contributed, with Jackson Merrill and Fernando Tatis Jr. each recording three hits, with Merrill driving in Manny Machado with two RBI singles. The Padres' win keeps them closely contested in the National League playoff race, currently a half-game behind Arizona for the final wild card spot. The Diamondbacks recently secured a 5-4 win against Kansas City in 10 innings.",
