April 10, 2026  (San Diego) — The San Diego Padres might just be starting to pick up some steam.

In a finish that felt more like end-of-season heroics instead of an April extra-inning game, Padres infielder Xander Bogaerts sent a 1-2 slider over the left-field wall at Petco Park for a walk-off grand slam in the 12th inning of Thursday night's game against visiting Colorado, giving the Padres a thrilling 7-3 victory over the Rockies.

The Padres are now at 7-7, tied for second place with the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League West, as they continue play against the Rockies, who are in San Diego all weekend.
