Padres Knock Down Marlins

     The San Diego Padres eased by the Miami Marlins 2-1 at Petco Park on Thursday night. The Marlins began a seven-game road trip out west. 
     San Diego(17-9) pulled out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Miami native Manny Machado blasted a solo home run to center field on the first pitch for his sixth homer of the season. 
     Miami(12-13) evened it up 1-1 in the top of the third. Jesus Aguilar drove in Miguel Rojas with a single up the middle. 
     The Padres regained the lead in the bottom of the fourth. Machado belted a solo homer to left-center field on a 1-1 count. It was his second home run of the contest and seventh of the 2022 campaign. It turned out to be Machado's 31st career multi-homer game.
