Padres win 8-3 vs Dodgers with Machado home run and a 2-run single

San Diego Padres beat the NL West-leading Los Angeles 8-3 Saturday night to snap a six-game losing streak to the Dodgers. Manny Machado homered into the second deck in the fourth inning and then hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the seven-run eighth inning.

The Dodgers’ problems were similar to the ones by the Padres on Friday night that helped Los Angeles rally for a 10-5 win.

As the Dodgers were leading 3-1, Yency Almonte (3-2) loaded the bases with one out and Caleb Ferguson came in to replace him. Juan Soto hit an RBI infield single and a throwing error by second baseman Kike Hernandez on the play brought in the tying run in the match.

Joe Kelly doesn’t like “cheaters” so he sent Fernando Tatis Jr. a message by throwing him very inside almost hitting him, strikes him out then proceeds to yell at him after! #Dodgers #Padres pic.twitter.com/LqyxUUDkoa
