San Diego rallied in the second inning and held on for a 5‑4 victory over Toronto on July 12, 2026, securing two wins in the three‑game series. Manny Machado’s single tied the game in the eighth and Ty France’s sacrifice fly produced the go‑ahead run. Adrian Morejón earned the win for the Padres, while Mason Miller closed the game with his 25th save. Toronto’s Nathan Lukes opened the scoring with a solo homer, and Ernie Clement later hit a two‑run shot to tie the game at 3‑3. The Padres’ hitting coach Steven Souza Jr. was ejected after a disputed ABS challenge, and a balk by Toronto starter Kevin Gausman added an extra run. The win moved San Diego to a .500 record (48‑48) and kept the Blue Jays just above the .500 mark heading into the All‑Star break.
