Padres Fernando Tatis Jr Hits First Walk-Off Homer to Beat Angels 6-4

Fernando Tatis Jr. delivered a dramatic two-run, 430-foot walk-off home run in the ninth inning to lead the San Diego Padres to a 6-4 comeback victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Despite a strong start from Angels' pitcher José Soriano and a clutch two-run homer from Matthew Lugo in the seventh inning that gave the Angels a 4-2 lead, the Padres rallied late in the game. Padres starter Dylan Cease struck out 10 over 6 2/3 innings, but the Angels briefly took control before Tatis' homer off closer Kenley Jansen ended the game. Tatis, who is on a hot streak with a seven-game hitting streak and three homers in his last four games, scored two runs and had two walks in the contest. The win snapped the Padres' two-game losing streak and halted the Angels' recent dominance over San Diego. The teams are set to conclude the three-game series with Randy Vásquez starting for the Angels and Kyle Hendricks for the Padres.
