The San Diego Padres found themselves trailing the San Francisco Giants 4-1 after two innings and it was not looking for the Padres, who had Walker Buehler on the mound. However the new-look San Diego lineup generated consistent offense, which resulted in a 10-5 win over the Giants. Multiple Padres had multi-hit games, including Sung-Mun Song who was called up and added to the roster after Jake Cronenworth was placed on the injured list with concussion symptoms.
Song acquainted himself quickly and
notched his first MLB hit in the top of the fourth inning, which was a two-run double to left-center field that put the Padres ahead, 5-4. San Diego never looked back and earned the win to setup the rubber match against San Francisco at 12:45 p.m. today.
