Jackson Merrill tied the game with a run-scoring triple after a hit that dramatically fell in center field, while Tatis ignited the offense with a single and a stolen base.\n\nAlready in the tenth inning, after a sacrifice bunt by the Venezuelan <strong>Freddy Ferm\u00edn<\/strong> that caused a defensive error, Tatis defined with a deep fly ball to left field, driving in the winning run and unleashing the euphoria of the fans. It was the fourth walk-off hit of the Dominican&#8217;s career and his second this season.\n\n&#8220;We just keep fighting. That&#8217;s what this team does,&#8221; said manager Mike Shildt, highlighting the collective execution that included a dominant bullpen with six relievers combining for 4.1 scoreless innings.\n\nThe victory allowed the Padres to stay one game behind the Dodgers in the fight for the <strong>National League West<\/strong> Division, as well as getting closer in the <strong>Wild Card<\/strong> race, where they are closely following the Cubs.\n\nWith this triumph, San Diego added its <strong>third consecutive victory<\/strong>, leaving behind a complicated stretch in which it had lost nine of 11 games.\n\n&#8220;Every game is vital now. We&#8217;re playing complete baseball,&#8221; said designated hitter <strong>Gavin Sheets<\/strong>, offensive protagonist with four base hits and two doubles.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Diego. \u2013 With a high level of sacrifice in extra innings, Dominican Fernando Tatis Jr. became the hero of the night by sealing the victory of the San Diego Padres 4-3 over the Cincinnati Reds, in a duel full of emotion and key for the final stretch of the season.
