SAN FRANCISCO—Jurickson Profar hit an early grand slam and Michael King pitched seven sharp innings to lead the San Diego Padres to a 4–0 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night.

Xander Bogaerts and Manny Machado singled in the first before Ha-Seong Kim walked to load the bases for Profar, whose drive landed just inside the right-field foul pole for his third career slam and first since April 10, 2022. It was San Diego’s first grand slam of the season.
