Michael King was the foundation of the victory, keeping New York scoreless through his start while the Padres' offense established control. The bullpen then protected the lead, with Bradgley Rodriguez and Mason Miller closing the game.
Fernando Tatis Jr. homered on a line drive to right field in the opening inning to put San Diego ahead. Jake Cronenworth and Manny Machado followed with homers, and Luis Campusano added another in the seventh to extend the lead.
The Yankees finally broke through in the eighth. Spencer Jones doubled to bring Cody Bellinger home, and Amed Rosario's single brought home Paul Goldschmidt and Spencer Jones, with a throwing error by Adrian Morejon contributing to the play. New York's rally stopped there.
San Diego's early burst and controlled pitching proved enough to withstand the late tension, while the Yankees left Petco Park with their losing streak extended.
