Manny Machado went 4-4, including a 2-run game-tying single with 2 outs in the 9th inning, and Jake Cronenworth knocked in the go-ahead run in the 10th as the Padres stole a big game from the Giants by the score of 3-2.

Just a day after the Padres won the series opener 1-0 in 10 innings, the Pads & Giants went to extras again.

This time the Padres had to beat Giants’ closer Camilo Duval in the 9th inning to get it done, and that’s exactly what they did.

Fernando Tatis, Jr. and Luis Arraez drew back-to-back walks with two outs, loading the bases for Machado, who also walked, reaching base all 5 times he came to the plate.

Machado made a huge defensive play in the 3rd inning, cutting down Willy Adames at the plate with a beautiful relay throw to cut down what would have been the Giants’ 3rd run of the inning- and the game. That play loomed larger than ever after Manny’s even bigger hit in the 9th tied the game.

Spencer Bivens (1-2) retired the first two batters in the 10th before

Cronenworth ripped a grounder through the hole between 1st & 2nd into right field, scoring automatic runner Jackson Merrill easily from 3rd to give the Padres their 1st and only lead of the game.

Yuki Matsui (1-1) tossed a perfect 9th and Jeremiah Estrada picked up his 2nd save. With a runner at 3rd after a sac bunt, Estrada retired Heliot Ramos and Jung Hoo Lee on grounders to shortstop to end the game.

Ramos hit his 11th homer, a 2-run blast in the 3rd, but that was all the Giants would get off Pads’ rookie & top prospect Ryan Bergert, who had just been brought up from AAA before the game.

Bergert gave up just those 2 runs while scattering 6 hits over 5 innings in his 1st big-league start.

Giants starter Landon Roupp shut the Padres down- allowing just 4 hits in 6 1/3 shutout innings.

After the Pads' 1st 2 hitters reached base in the 8th, Giants 3rd baseman Matt Chapman snagged Merrill’s grounder, stepped on the base then threw to 1st to finish a sweet 5-3 double play to end the inning and keep the Padres off the board- for the time being.

Before the Pads got to Doval for the tying runs in the 9th, the Giants’ closer hadn’t allowed a run in 20 2/3 innings. It was the longest active streak in MLB.
