The Padres started strong in the first inning, scoring all three runs which ultimately decided the game. Despite accumulating only three hits over the entire game, strategic plays and capitalized opportunities allowed them to maintain their lead. The team's hitting statistics reflected a disciplined approach at the plate with an on-base percentage (OBP) of .294 and slugging percentage (SLG) of .267. Notably, they managed to drive in three runs despite having just four at-bats with runners in scoring position (RISP), highlighting their efficiency in crucial moments.

Dylan Cease was instrumental for the Padres on the mound. His pitching line included an earned run average (ERA) of 0.0 and a walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP) of 0.3 over 3.1 innings pitched, striking out five batters along the way. Cease's performance was pivotal in keeping the Nationals' hitters off balance throughout his time on the mound.
