Padres clinch dramatic 8-7 win over Rockies with Bogaerts walk‑off
San Diego secured an 8‑7 victory over the Colorado Rockies when Xander Bogaerts delivered a walk‑off sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth inning. Fernando Tatis Jr. recorded the first five‑hit game of his career, contributing five of the Padres’ 16 hits. The win marked the team’s fourth straight triumph and kept them within 1.5 games of the NL West lead.
The following day the Padres extended their streak to five games, beating Colorado 3‑1. Griffin Canning earned the win after three scoreless innings, and the bullpen completed a one‑hit ninth for a 28th save by Mason Miller. Jeremiah Estrada returned from the injured list and helped shut down the Rockies. The streak moved San Diego to two games behind the Philadelphia Phillies for the final NL wild‑card spot.
