Fernando Tatis Jr. had hardly finished posing for a Polaroid with teammates in the Padres’ dugout while wearing a sombrero after his home run in the fifth inning when he bounded back on the field, celebrating as Manny Machado rounded the bases.Machado’s second home run, a two-run shot in the seventh inning, delivered the deciding runs even as the Padres piled on afterward en route to a 16-11 victory.
Padres third baseman Manny Machado , wearing a sombrero, celebrates his home run in the dugout during Saturday’s seventh inning. None of the game’s first 21 batters came close to taking advantage of the air at 7,349 feet above sea level, which is Denver times almost 1½. Then Crawford sent a slider from Musgrove to right field, where it barely cleared the wall.
All the Padres could manage in the fourth were back-to-back 420-foot home runs by Juan Soto and Xander Bogaerts to get to 8-7.
