The episode discusses the Padres' 5-1 loss to the Yankees, highlighting Robbie Ray's struggles and Manny Machado's milestone home run.
The San Diego Padres fall 5-1 to the New York Yankees at Petco Park as the series evens at one game apiece. Robbie Ray struggled from the start, allowing five earned runs in just 2.1 innings, including four walks, as New York broke the game open with a four-run second inning. The Padres bullpen was outstanding after Ray departed, with Griffin Canning, Wandy Peralta, David Morgan and Jhony Brito combining to keep the Yankees scoreless the rest of the way. Manny Machado provided San Diego’s only run with a 391-foot home run in the fourth inning, his 25th homer of the season and his 11th consecutive season with at least 25 home runs. But the Padres offense finished with only three hits, went 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position and struck out 12 times. We break down the four-run second inning, Machado’s milestone homer, Griffin Canning’s huge relief work, the Padres’ offensive struggles, Craig Stammen’s decision to pinch-hit Ethan Salas in a key sixth-inning spot, and what the loss means in the National League Wild Card race with the series finale coming Sunday.
