- San Diego tied it in the fifth on solo and two-run homers from Miguel Andújar and Nick Castellanos, marking Castellanos' first as a Padre.
- Matt Shaw doubled to spark the sixth-inning rally and added an eighth-inning solo shot, finishing with three hits.
- The Padres finished with only three hits as Fernando Tatis Jr.'s late sacrifice fly cut the gap to one before Hoby Milner secured his first save.
