Juan Soto homered twice and drove in four runs, helping the San Diego Padres beat the Colorado Rockies 8-5 on Tuesday night.
Ha-Seong Kim and Trent Grisham added RBI singles in the ninth inning. Fernando Tatis Jr. drove in a pair of runs with a double and a bases loaded forceout for San Diego.
The victory comes a day after the Padres lost to the Rockies in extra innings and hours after San Diego bolstered its lineup with a number of moves ahead of the trade deadline in its bid for a late-season push toward a playoff berth.“It's good,” he said. “It's telling the guys that we still have hopes and we're going to be out there and come to play every day to win,” Soto said.“Juan had a nice night,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said.
“We tried to get back into it. It's not always going to work,” McMahon said. “Sometimes you've got to tip your cap. We put some really good at-bats up against some tough pitchers late. We did some good things tonight. Unfortunately, it just didn't go our way.” “I've been feeling really good the last couple of weeks,” Soto said. “I've been swinging the bat well, hitting the ball hard.”
