SAN FRANCISCO —
Nick Margevicius, a rookie who wasn’t supposed to be on the Padres at this point, and Manny Machado, a superstar like the Padres have never had, continued the start to a season unlike many the Padres have ever experienced.
As Margevicius was continuing the surprisingly excellent and premature start to his major league career, allowing one run in six innings, Machado was fielding ground balls and making throws and hitting a solo home run off the top of Oracle Park’s right-field wall that was the deciding run in a 3-1 victory over the Giants on Wednesday.
