The San Diego Padres secured a narrow 4-1 victory against the Angels in a game that saw late-inning heroics. The Padres' offense finally broke through in the eighth inning with two runs, and added two more in the ninth to secure the win.
Closer Mason Miller preserved the lead, extending his scoreless streak to 31 2/3 innings and earning his seventh save. This marked his 30th scoreless appearance of the season, a testament to his reliability.
The game remained scoreless through the first eight innings, thanks to strong pitching performances from both starters. Angels' Yusei Kikuchi struck out eight over six innings, while Padres' Germán Márquez also pitched into the sixth, allowing only two hits.
Despite early struggles from both pitchers, including walks and defensive help, the game tightened up. Key defensive plays, including a home run robbery by Jackson Merrill in the second inning, kept the score level until the Padres' late offensive push.
