The San Diego Padres continued their strong run with a tense 1-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants, scoring the game’s only run in the 10th inning on a sacrifice fly by José Iglesias The win pushed the Padres to a 34-24 record, keeping them firmly in second place in the NL West and building momentum as they chase the division lead.
The game was a classic pitcher’s duel, with both teams held scoreless through nine innings. Padres pitching, anchored by a standout bullpen, kept the Giants’ bats quiet, while the offense finally broke through in extra frames. Notably absent from the box score were Andrew McCutchen and closer Robert Suarez, neither of whom factored into Monday night’s dramatic finish.
San Diego’s recent form has been impressive, with the team winning seven of its last ten games and maintaining a balanced attack both at home and on the road As the Padres continue their road trip, all eyes will be on how manager Mike Shildt utilizes his roster, especially with key veterans like McCutchen and Suarez ready for high-leverage moments in upcoming games.
