Fourth Inning


San Diego responded in kind during their turn in the fourth inning when Manny Machado stepped up and delivered a crucial hit that brought home one run for Slam Diego. This narrowed Texas's lead and reignited hope among Padres fans.


Sixth Inning


By the sixth inning, San Diego had found its rhythm again as they managed another run through consistent hitting efforts from players like Jake Cronenworth and Luis Arraez who contributed significantly throughout this phase of play.


Tenth Inning


As regulation time concluded with both teams locked at two runs each due to stellar defensive work from pitchers such as Randy Vásquez (ERA: 3) for San Diego – extra innings were required! It was here where Trenton Brooks emerged heroically; his decisive hit secured victory by bringing home that all-important third run amidst roaring cheers echoing across PETCO Park!
