Padres Win 3-2 Over Rangers After Bogaerts Leaves With Hamstring Injury

The San Diego Padres secured a dramatic 3-2 walkoff victory against the Texas Rangers in 10 innings, highlighted by Jake Cronenworth's game-winning RBI single. The win came during a packed home game at Petco Park with 45,114 fans in attendance, marking the start of the team's final homestand before the All-Star break. Manny Machado contributed a key home run and is nearing 2,000 career hits, while Fernando Tatis Jr. helped tie the game with a crucial triple. However, the Padres faced a setback as shortstop Xander Bogaerts left the game in the 10th inning with a right hamstring injury, marking his second recent game exit due to cramping or injury concerns. Bogaerts’ recent decline in performance and availability is a concern for the Padres, who are just a game ahead in the wild-card race. The team awaits further updates on Bogaerts’ condition as his presence will be critical in their push for postseason contention.
