San Diego Padres Sweep Minnesota Twins
The San Diego Padres completed a sweep of the Minnesota Twins, winning 8-1 with Fernando Tatis Jr. hitting two home runs and Jackson Merrill contributing one in his first 20/20 season. The team is two games ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the Wild Card race as they prepare to face the Pittsburgh Pirates. Starters Braxton Ashcraft and Robbie Ray will pitch against each other, with Ray showing promise in recent outings. The Padres’ bullpen is well-prepared, having had solid performances from Walker Buehler and others in the previous game.
