Hanging on to a slim 1-0 lead entering the eighth inning against the Houston Astros, the San Diego Padres were in search of some insurance runs. The slugging combination of Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, and Donovan Solano delivered, hitting back-to-back-to-back homers to give the team a 4-0 lead it would not relinquish. It’s the first time since Opening Day in 1997 that the franchise has hit three straight taters. The offense was appreciated as the Club continues making a Postseason push with nine regular-season games left.
