Dodgers Rally Past Padres in 12-Run Blowout

San Diego started strong, with Manny Machado’s 97‑mph homer and a 6‑0 advantage by the end of the third. But Los Angeles answered with a 12‑run surge, scoring two in the bottom of the second and four in the fourth to cut the lead to two. The Dodgers then added three in the next two innings and a run in the eighth for a 12‑unanswered run streak, sealing a 12‑6 victory. Kyle Tucker went 4‑for‑4, including a homer, while Dalton Rushing also went 4‑for‑4 with four RBIs, a double and a homer, driving the comeback.

Padres pitchers struggled, each allowing at least two runs, and the bullpen couldn’t hold the lead. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays capped off their eighth straight win with a 5‑2 victory over the Kansas City Royals, extending their winning streak to eight games. catcross.org
