Braves Seek First Win Against Padres Sunday Night

In a dominant performance, Nick Pivetta threw seven innings of one-hit baseball for the San Diego Padres, leading them to a 5-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. This win completed a four-game sweep for the Padres, marking their first 4-0 start since 1998, while the Braves fell to 0-4 for the first time since 2021. Manny Machado made a successful return to the lineup, contributing an RBI double, as the Padres showcased strong offensive support from players like Xander Bogaerts and Fernando Tatis Jr. The Braves, who have now lost six consecutive games at Petco Park, are facing increasing pressure as they head to Los Angeles to play the Dodgers. Pivetta's impressive debut and the Padres' strong start highlight their potential this season, contrasting sharply with the Braves' struggles to find their footing.
