Machado's 2-run double in 8th caps Padres' comeback for 6-5 win over slumping Braves

The Braves blew a 5-0 lead, wasting a strong start from Reynaldo López, in their fourth straight loss, their longest losing streak of the season. Machado's double off Joe Jiménez (1-1) drove in Jurickson Profar and Jake Cronenworth to cap a four-run inning. Cronenworth singled in two runs in the inning.

“It's been all year, we haven't really left the fight," Machado said. “This team, until that last out is made, we're going to continue to fight.”

Atlanta led 5-2 before San Diego's four-run eighth. The Padres had lost 117 consecutive games when trailing by three runs through seven innings since their most recent such comeback on May 29, 2021, at Houston.

“Oh my gosh, I love this team, I just love this team,” manager Mike Shildt said.

Shildt said Machado's go-ahead hit was “Manny doing Manny things.”

Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson hit back-to-back homers in the third inning for Atlanta, which had 12 hits after being held to a combined two runs and 11 hits while losing the first two games of the series.

Ronald Acuña Jr. had three of the Braves' nine hits in four innings against Dylan Cease, who previously had not given up more than six hits in a game this season.

Olson and Michael Harris II had run-scoring singles in the first.

López allowed two runs in 6 1/3 innings in the matchup against Cease, his former Chicago White Sox teammate.

Jhony Brito (1-2) gave up one hit in a scoreless seventh for the Padres. Robert Suarez, helped by shortstop Ha-Seong Kim's diving catch of a popup hit by Harris in shallow center field, pitched a perfect ninth for his 13th save.

San Diego right-hander Randy Vásquez was scheduled to face Atlanta's Chris Sale in Monday night's second game.
