Padres' Winning Streak Grows

Padres Claw Back From a 3-0 Hole

Cleveland jumped out fast, building a 3-0 lead early behind Nathaniel Lowe. Lowe went 3-for-the-game and drove in two runs, giving the Guardians early control. It looked like a tough night for San Diego.

But the Padres answered in a big way. Campusano and Bogaerts each drove in three runs to power the comeback. By the end of the night, San Diego had scored seven runs and never looked back, according to Newsday.

Tatis Keeps Mashing, Padres Keep Winning

Fernando Tatis Jr. is on a tear. His home run Monday was his fifth in nine games, according to Yahoo Sports. That kind of power surge from a top-of-the-lineup bat makes San Diego very hard to stop.

The Padres have built real momentum. Winning 16 of 20 games is not a fluke. San Diego is playing its best baseball of the season at exactly the right time of year, WRAL noted.

Cleveland's Post-All-Star Slide Gets Worse

The Guardians are in a rough stretch. They have gone 8-18 since the All-Star break — one of the worst records in baseball over that span. Monday's loss made it five defeats in their last six games, according to Leader Telegram.

Cleveland had the lead and still could not hold on. Lowe's three hits were not enough to overcome a Padres lineup that just keeps finding ways to score. San Diego's six-game win streak shows no signs of slowing down, Journal Gazette reported.
