Episode Details

The San Diego Padres beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-2 Monday night at Petco Park and did it without help from their biggest stars.

Fernando Tatis Jr., Jackson Merrill and Manny Machado combined to go 0-for-12, but Freddy Fermin and Samad Taylor carried the offense while Walker Buehler battled through traffic and the bullpen slammed the door.

Fermin finished 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two RBI and a sacrifice bunt. Taylor delivered one of the best all-around performances by a Padre this season, going 2-for-4 with three RBI, a stolen base, an RBI bunt single, a two-run single in the eighth inning, a leaping catch at the wall and an outfield assist that erased a runner at home plate.

The Padres played old-school National League baseball to take the lead in the seventh inning. Bryce Johnson Bowen reached on a bunt single, Fermin dropped down a sacrifice bunt, Gavin Sheets delivered a game-tying double and Taylor followed with an RBI bunt single to put San Diego ahead.

The Padres added three more runs in the eighth as Bogaerts, Bowen, Taylor and Fermin kept the line moving against the Cincinnati bullpen.

Walker Buehler allowed just one earned run over 4.2 innings before Adrian Morejon, Bryan Rodriguez, Jason Adam and Mason Miller combined to finish the game. Adam struck out three in the eighth and Miller struck out all three batters he faced in the ninth while touching 103 MPH.

One of the biggest stories of the night was San Diego winning despite Tatis, Merrill and Machado finishing a combined 0-for-12. Instead, role players, situational hitting, bunts, defense and bullpen dominance carried the Padres to a much-needed victory.
