San Diego Padres Win Dramatically with Merrill and Profar's Heroics

The San Diego Padres achieved a dramatic 7-6 victory over the Washington Nationals, thanks to Jurickson Profar's two-run, bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 10th inning. The Padres rallied from a 6-3 deficit in the 10th inning, which featured Jackson Merrill's two-run single that set the stage for Profar's walk-off hit. Earlier in the game, the Padres had a 3-0 lead, but the Nationals fought back to tie and eventually take the lead with Keibert Ruiz's double and Nick Senzel's homer. Despite placing Fernando Tatis Jr. on the injured list, the Padres managed to secure the win, with Wandy Peralta earning the victory. Jackson Merrill has been a standout player, recently matching a home run streak last achieved by Willie Mays, and continues to impress in his rookie season.
