Machado helps Padres top Giants again in 10 innings

Manny Machado's two-run single in the ninth inning propelled the San Diego Padres to a thrilling 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants in 10 innings. The Padres rallied back after Giants closer Camilo Doval, who had not allowed a run in his previous 20 2/3 innings, walked two batters to load the bases for Machado. In his first major league start, Padres rookie Ryan Bergert pitched five innings, yielding two runs and six hits. Giants third baseman Matt Chapman showcased defensive prowess by executing a double play that halted a potential Padres rally in the eighth. Heliot Ramos provided San Francisco's lone offensive highlight with his 11th home run, a two-run shot in the third inning.

The Giants have now scored four runs or fewer in 16 consecutive games, their second-longest such streak since 1958. This victory follows a 1-0 win for the Padres in the series opener, underscoring their competitive spirit. The upcoming matchup features Padres RHP Nick Pivetta against Giants LHP Kyle Harrison.
