Overview
- San Diego's first three batters—Fernando Tatis Jr., Jake Cronenworth and Manny Machado—each hit a home run off Yankees ace Gerrit Cole to start the game.
- The Padres won 4-3 after Luis Campusano added a seventh-inning homer and Mason Miller closed with his 33rd save.
- Michael King earned the victory with six innings of work while Gerrit Cole completed seven innings, allowing four runs and surrendering three homers for only the second time in his career.
- New York staged an eighth-inning rally that produced three runs after reliever Adrián Morejón made a bad throw to first, but the comeback fell short.
- The win moved San Diego to 75-68 and a half-game behind Arizona in the NL wild-card chase and marked the 12th time in MLB history a team hit homers with its first three batters, a feat the Padres also achieved in 1987.
