San Diego Padres' 5-Run Rally Stands Alone in MLB History Books

The San Diego Padres, up 1-0 in the NL Wild Card Series, find themselves trailing the Atlanta Braves 1-0 early on Wednesday night.

Atlanta had struck first in Game 2, scoring a run on a sacrifice fly by Marcell Ozuna in the top of the opening inning. San Diego, meanwhile, came up empty in the first, and still faced a one-run deficit in the second.

Just when it seemed like the Padres were about to post another zero on the scoreboard again, they shifted into another gear entirely.

Catcher Kyle Higashioka got the ball rolling with a game-tying, solo home run to left-center with two outs in the bottom of the second – his second bomb of the series.
