ATLANTA—Manny Machado’s two-run, eighth-inning double Monday capped a San Diego Padres’ comeback from a five-run deficit in a 6–5 victory over the Atlanta Braves in the opening game of a day-night doubleheader.
The Braves blew a 5–0 lead, wasting a strong start from Reynaldo López, in their season-high fourth straight loss. Machado’s double off Joe Jiménez (1–1) drove in Jurickson Profar and Jake Cronenworth to cap a four-run inning. Cronenworth singled in two runs earlier.
