San Diego Padres 5 – 6 Atlanta Braves

MLB · July 23, 2026 · Final
🎧 Post-Game Report (audio)

Post-Game Recap

The Atlanta Braves held off the San Diego Padres six to five in a game that took a dramatic turn right in the middle innings. San Diego came out swinging in the second, building a three-nothing lead in a hurry — Fernando Tatis Junior drew a walk to plate the first run, then Luis Rengifo singled to right and cleared the bases, putting two more on the board. The Padres looked in control. They were not.

Atlanta chipped away immediately, Michael Harris the Second going deep to right center, then Ozzie Albies adding a solo shot in the fourth. But it was Will Smith who broke the game open — a three-run bomb to right that flipped the scoreboard in Atlanta's favor five to three. Just like that, San Diego's lead was gone and the Braves owned it. Baldwin extended the cushion with a solo shot in the seventh, and that proved to be the margin that mattered.

Ty France gave the Padres a pulse in the eighth, a two-run homer to left scoring Machado and cutting it to six to five, but Atlanta's bullpen slammed the door. Harris the Second finished with two hits and two runs scored, Albies went two for four with the home run, and Rengifo's two RBIs in that second inning ultimately weren't enough. San Diego built the lead and couldn't protect it. That's your post-game report. Sports Desk, signing off.
