All-Star Fernando Tatis Jr. Leads Padres 4-1 Over Rangers

Fernando Tatis Jr. led the San Diego Padres to a 4-1 victory over the Texas Rangers, reaching base four times and driving in the go-ahead run with a clutch double in the fourth inning. The Padres' bullpen, featuring Kyle Hart who earned the win and Robert Suarez who secured his 25th save to tie for the MLB lead, effectively contained the Rangers' offense. Martín Maldonado and Jake Cronenworth also contributed key RBIs, while the Padres overcame a rough start by rookie opener David Morgan. Tatis, named to the National League All-Star team for the third time, has recently battled a prolonged slump but showed renewed spark in this game. The victory marked the completion of a series win for the Padres and came ahead of Yu Darvish's season debut after injury. The Rangers' starter Jack Leiter struggled with command, allowing two runs in less than four innings pitched.
