Luis Rengifo came off the bench in the eighth inning and delivered a two-run shot that broke a tie and sent the Padres home with a four to two win over Miami. The Marlins have now dropped ten straight, a skid that's getting harder to watch by the night. San Diego drew seven walks and needed just five hits to get the job done.
Shifting to New York, Juan Soto's calf is becoming a real concern for the Mets. The star outfielder was pulled before an at-bat in the sixth inning of Friday's game against the Dodgers with left calf soreness. He's been limited to designated hitter duty for four of his last six games, and the Mets can't afford to see this linger with the second half just getting underway.
Out in Arizona, Jacoby Brissett showed up to Cardinals camp but is not participating in eleven-on-eleven drills amid ongoing contract uncertainty. First-year head coach Mike LaFleur still has no clear answer at quarterback in the post-Kyler Murray era, and every day without Brissett in full team reps is another day that question goes unanswered.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
