Jackson Merrill’s bunt starts three-run rally off Phillies ace Ranger Suarez, four leverage relievers close out a win

The San Diego Padres opened their three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies with a 4-2 win at Petco Park, Friday. The result of the game was thanks in large part to the five All-Stars on the San Diego roster, who were responsible for game saving plays and run scoring hits.

Manny Machado homered and the San Diego Padres' bullpen tossed 4 1/3 scoreless innings to secure a 4-2 win over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Friday.

The Phillies aren’t happy with Jacob Misiorowski’s controversial All-Star Game selection . The Brewers’ hard-throwing rookie was chosen as a replacement for Matthew Boyd after just five starts and 25 2/3 innings, breaking the 2024 record set by Pirates ace Paul Skenes of 11 games.

"We're good in close games," San Diego manager Mike Shildt said. "We do a lot of things well that allow you to win close games. But it's also legal to win 7-3 or 8-2." The Padres will try to make things a little easier on themselves and their fans when they start a weekend series Friday night against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies.
