San Diego snapped a four-game slide behind Nick Pivetta’s six innings of stingy work, a 5-1 win at Petco Park that showcased the Padres’ balanced attack and late-inning bullpen work. A leadoff homer by Jung Hoo Lee gave the Giants a quick early edge, but Pivetta quieted the opposing lineup and piled up 10 strikeouts, allowing just three hits and two walks. San Diego answered in the first, knotting the game on an RBI-groundout from Manny Machado after Fernando Tatis Jr. reached on an error. The Padres pulled away in the fourth as Iglesias delivered a go-ahead single, then Machado’ double set the stage for O’Hearn’s RBI knock and a subsequent scoring sequence that extended the lead to 4-1. Arraez contributed, and Diaz and Tatis Jr. added key moments to seal the 5-1 win.

Machado and O’Hearn paced the offense with two hits apiece, scoring a run and driving in a run apiece. The lineup depth was on display as multiple Padres recorded hits, with the bullpen of Morejon, Adam and Suarez closing it out by surrendering only a single hit while striking out two. For fantasy gamers, the performance solidifies Machado as a steady fantasy asset and elevates O’Hearn to everyday-at-bat status, while Pivetta’s high strikeout upside makes him a viable streaming option in favorable matchups. The Padres now look ahead to a rematch with the Giants in the next game, aiming to keep the momentum rolling.
