Episode Details

Walker Buehler finally lasted six innings—his longest start in two months—giving up just one run on three hits and striking out five, after a frustrating early exit last time out. The Padres offense exploded with 17 hits, led by Luis Rengifo’s career-first grand slam (a wild moment for the player cut by the team in June), plus homers from Fernando Tatis Jr. and Luis Campusano. This win marks their fourth straight, tying them with the Phillies and Diamondbacks for the final wild-card spots in the NL. Rengifo’s blast gave Buehler an early cushion, while Tatis Jr.’s homer moved him into second all-time for Padres home runs. Buehler’s season has been a rollercoaster since elbow surgery, but with this offensive firepower backing him, he’s finding his footing again.
