Their recent struggles saw them lose nine of their last ten games, dropping them out of contention. Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres pulled off a remarkable late victory against the Washington Nationals. Despite falling 8-0 behind after the fourth inning, the game seemed lost. However, a seven-run comeback in the bottom of the fourth, featuring a solo home run by Fernando Tatis, Jr. and a crucial run-scoring single, propelled them back into the match. Tommy Pham leveled the game with a double in the sixth, before Trent Grisham became the hero in the ninth inning by driving in Pham with a single, sealing a spectacular 9-8 comeback win. The Padres now hold the third spot in the NL West with a 52-38 record, trailing San Francisco Giants by four games. The Nationals are at 42-44, just 4.5 games behind the Mets in the competitive NL East division.
