Jake Cronenworth's Walk-Off Home Run Lifts Padres Over Brewers 7-6

Jake Cronenworth hit a walk-off home run in the ninth inning to lead the San Diego Padres to a 7-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Padres hit four home runs, including shots by Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, and rookie Jackson Merrill. Padres rookie starter Adam Mazur struggled, allowing two runs in the fifth inning, but was relieved effectively by Adrian Morejon. The Brewers' offense, led by Rhys Hoskins, managed to tie the game in the ninth inning before Cronenworth's decisive homer. The Brewers, managed by Pat Murphy, have a strong season record but are facing a tough challenge from the Padres, who are in a tight race for a wild-card spot. The game also marked an attempt by the Padres to build momentum after a challenging road trip, with hopes bolstered by the impending return of Yu Darvish from injury.
