Overview
- Manny Machado hit a three‑run homer in the 10th inning, his 13th of the season, finishing with five RBIs to lift the Padres to a 6-4 extra‑inning win.
- Texas scratched starter Nathan Eovaldi with left‑knee soreness and MacKenzie Gore was moved up to start, throwing six innings, allowing one run and striking out six.
- The Rangers took a 3-1 lead on Jake Burger’s two‑run homer in the seventh before defensive and bullpen troubles allowed San Diego to tie the game in the eighth.
- Joe Ross walked Samad Taylor to open the 10th and Machado drove the next pitch into the left‑center seats, while Adrian Morejon and Mason Miller closed out the win with Miller recording his 20th save in 20 chances.
- The result continued San Diego’s dominance over Texas, marking the Padres’ 16th win in 19 meetings, and it underlines a wider MLB pattern of games decided by late‑inning rallies and fragile bullpens.
