Padres stretch streak to five, near wild‑card

Entities: Michael King · Colorado Rockies · San Diego Padres · Fernando Tatis Jr. · Griffin Canning

Overview

The San Diego Padres continued their early‑season push against the Colorado Rockies, extending a winning run that began with Fernando Tatis Jr.’s five‑hit performance and a 7‑1 edge in the season series. Xander Bogaerts delivered a ninth‑inning walk‑off sacrifice fly for an 8‑7 victory, giving San Diego its fourth straight win and keeping the club within 1.5 games of the NL West lead.

The following day the Padres beat the Rockies 3‑1, marking a fifth consecutive triumph. Griffin Canning worked three scoreless innings, and the bullpen completed a one‑hit ninth that produced Mason Miller’s 28th save of the season. Jeremiah Estrada returned from the injured list and helped shut down Colorado’s offense. The streak moved San Diego to two games behind the Philadelphia Phillies for the final NL wild‑card spot, sustaining the team's chase for postseason contention.
