On Thursday in Game 2 of their Wild Card Series, the Padres fell behind the Cardinals 4-0 early for the second straight day. This time, they stormed back to even the series.
Tatis struck out with two on in the third inning and again with the bases loaded in the fifth, adding to his LOB woes in the series. He made up for it in a big way in the sixth, though, lining a hanging Giovanny Gallegos slider over the left field wall for a three-run homer to cut the Cards’ lead to one. Manny Machado then made it back-to-back with a game-tying shot.
