May 21, 2022 (San Francisco) - The Padres came away with a great extra innings win last night.  They tried for a game two matinee win today with Grossmont High alum Joe Musgrove on the mound against Carlos Rodon for the Giants.

Manny Machado kicked things off with a homer to center in the third and the Padres led 1-0 after three.

 
The Padres added some insurance in the sixth with Trent Grisham’s sac bunt that scored Luke Voit from third and the Friars led 2-0 after six.
 
Wilmer Flores narrowed the gap in the eighth with a solo blast to left, but the Padres staved off the Giants with a 2-1 win to take the series.
