Padres vs. Nationals Game Highlights (5/25/23) | MLB Highlights

The Padres not much of an offensive ballclub lately. First time they see Jake Irvin a fifth star for Jake coming off a rough outing Zander Bogart's will step to the plate try and put the ball in play struck out all four times last night. That is strike three Pat Hoberg. We were pausing with him took him a while to pull the trigger and for Jake Irvin two K's around the walk to Soto all about firing strikes from the left hander. Well if he avoids the walks he can be nasty. Tenth start but it's only two forty seven high on the walks though. Twenty seven and forty five innings for Blake Snell and Lane Thomas sent the lead off that ball hit hard left side. Kim he dropped it and nobody covering first. Cronenworth thought he caught the ball and never went to the bag. They'll probably give the error on the throw. But the first baseman wasn't doing his job on the other side. That is something you never see at this level. Oh Hassan Kim it looks like it goes right in there and he smothers it. And I think Jake Cronenworth just assumed that all balls in his glove. But here is Manassas who was three for six against him all singles. There is a base hit the right and the Nats go ahead. Joey Manassas RBI number twenty five to tie Thomas and Abrams atop the team runs batted in list. Nice job by Joey gets on top of the fastball it's out of the zone but he expanded just a little bit. Job by Joey and Hassan Kim coming up for the Padres. But he goes and he is in some pain. How how inside of the knee or on the knee inside of the left knee a little bit of weight is triple for him right now as they help him off another bad bad series of events right here. Dixon will continue this plate appearance. The count is one and one to one pitch is to left field and that's going to be in for a base hit. So Garrett cuts it off a single for Dixon Dixon at first with two down. Here's Trent Grisham five all left field struck pretty well back goes Garrett at the wall. He leaves and Garrett is not going to catch it. That ball is gone. Trent Grisham just over the fence and left field hits a two run home run and the Padres take a two one lead like Stone. Garrett was going to be able to make that catch at the wall but it's gone. Dye from our vantage point. I thought he had that one. Bring up C.J. Abrams hitting two forty four. The center falling fast in comes Grisham he dives and makes the catch in center field. Trent Grisham doing it all. He homered last inning and now he robs Abrams of a base hit diving forward. The Gold Glove center fielder says no. Four walks and three in a row here in the third inning. Alexander Bogart is coming up. This one popped up right side. Stay with it. Luis Garcia looking right into the sun. I mean right into it and he's got it. Bring up Matt Carpenter. Dominic Smith risky throw gets the return home Smith pushing the envelope and one of the best double plays of the year goes three six right back to three. So they'll leave them loaded. It's two one San Diego and waiting on Machado to left. And that's it for a base hit for Fernando. The time he's been a board he'd walked in the third now a single here in the fifth inning. Now one Soto and that's ball for for the third time today. One Soto has walked to Bogart's could make him pay this time dancing out there at second base by Tatis and what we got here a ball for the runners will advance all that dancing Tatis was doing finally he goes you see the flinches there. It doesn't matter how big or little it is front elbow. If you look at the front elbow that moves and then the foot moves line to center field and that's him there for a base hit from third comes to T. Soto will be stopped at third. The Padres had a run go on top three to one Jander Bogerts driving in a run two down in the fifth for Rugnett O'Doar and he lines this one to left field and that's going to get in for a hit scoring is Soto Bogerts behind him throw goes to second it's off the mark two runs are in and the Padres take a five one lead Rugnett O'Doar drives into bases loaded now with one out and Stone Garrett Garrett swings and misses in a pitch in the dirt for strike three chase the curveball now grabs the hottest hitter in this series for the Nationals Dominic Smith comes to the plate swing and a miss and he strikes out Dominic Smith the second straight inning the Nationals have left them loaded the big strikeout back to back for Snell six and all Padres have a five one lead again like they did two innings ago two on nobody out. Candelario to the box fair ball right field lines going to hit that short corner and bump out in front of Tatis he fires to second safe as the call Garcia scores Meneses to third and the Nats are in business here in the seventh inning. Corey Dickerson for Stone Garrett Davies gets a matchup he likes here. There's a base hit to left Meneses scores Candelario into third and Corey Dickerson the veteran comes through in a big way. The Nats are right back at the Padres here. What a bat by Corey Dickerson. Now the Nats get another matchup that I bet Davey likes Dominic Smith the lefty right side base hit Candelario scores Dickerson to second Tatis with a bubble. But Corey had already stopped and the Nats have five hits in a row. Got a one run game here with a runner at third less than two. Nice job by Dove Smith Cole meanwhile does not have a sacrifice. But this year the Padres are expecting him maybe to try because they have the third baseman and first baseman up even with a bag. Oh that's perfect. They're going to have to make a good play to get it. And the ball is down the right behind. Still tying in scores over to third is Smith and the Nats again force the Padres into defensive mistakes. But then run Bob Alex Cole puts down a perfect bunt in the perfect spot and then chaos ensues. And now the Nats have second and third nobody out. And K.B. Ruiz will come in and hit for Riley Adams hard hit. And that's off of Cronenworth. The Nats have the lead with their seventh consecutive base hit. Sometimes when the infield's in everyone's like got to elevate got to elevate. Watch his hit it right through the guy. Talk about how hard it is to see off the bat in the shadows as well. And it just handcuffs Jake Cronenworth a couple of pop ups now the Padres have a chance to get out of this inning down by just a run that will get away and from third base scoring. No he's going to be out. So they got him on the tag and see if the Nationals are going to challenge. They are the things he got him. What a great effort by Sullivan. Oh I think got him on the back pocket. I don't know. It may have been a shadow. I got him on that foot actually so the call stands he is out and he's going to keep it a one run ball game with a terrific play. Incredible two out runners first and second Rupert that old door the last hope for the Padres and Nationals fans coming to their feet line to right field down the line towards the pole and that ball in a six lead with two outs in the ninth inning. Don't you just love this game of baseball. Unbelievable. We've talked about Rupert that old door in our game open coming up with some big hits. Here is Alex Cole with two away in the ninth inning swing and a miss. He struck him on the Padres win a one two three ninth inning for Josh Hader who picks up his thirteenth save and the Padres are victorious. They come from behind to win it eight to six in dramatic fashion.
