April 27, 2022 (Cincinnati) - The Padres did a nice job yesterday in game one against the Reds, so they tried again today with MacKenzie Gore on the mound against Vladimir Gutierrez for Cincinnati.

Eric Hosmer singled in the fifth to score Manny Machado and the Padres led 6-1 after five.
Colin Moran hit a sac fly in the sixth to score Farmer and the Padres led 6-2 after six.
Pham kept the rally going against his old team with a solo homer in the seventh and the Padres led 6-3 after seven.
But Hosmer extended the lead with a solo homer in the eighth and the Padres led he Pafter eight.
The Padres added some last-minute insurance in the ninth with Machado’s double that scored C.J. Abrams. Brandon Drury hit a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth. Farmer doubled to score Pham, but the Padres stopped the rally and took the series with an 8-5 win.
