Padres vs. Rangers: Clutch hits, diving catches seal tight win
Manny Machado’s go-ahead single, a diving stop by Fernando Tatis Jr., and a 1-2 punch from Yu Darvish and Josh Hader defined this must-watch Padres-Rangers tilt.
The San Diego Padres edged the Texas Rangers 4-3 on a late-inning rally sparked by Manny Machado’s two-run single in the seventh. Freddie Freeman had already staked San Diego to a 2-0 lead with a sixth-inning RBI single, but Texas tied it in the bottom half on a two-out double by Corey Seager off Yu Darvish, who struck out seven over six frames. made a leaping, backhanded grab on a Mitch Garver liner in the eighth, robbing a sure extra-base hit and killing a potential rally.
