Yankees Rally in 7th to Beat Padres 12-3

The New York Yankees rebounded from a late-game collapse against the San Diego Padres with a decisive 12-3 victory, highlighted by a 10-run seventh inning capped by Austin Wells' first career grand slam. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Yankees and halted the Padres' six-game winning streak. Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt and former Yankee Michael King, now with the Padres, each pitched six strong innings before the bullpens took over. The previous night, an emotional ejection of Padres manager Mike Shildt and star Fernando Tatis Jr. helped spark San Diego’s dramatic four-run eighth inning comeback for a 4-3 win, showcasing the intensity and unpredictable momentum shifts in this interleague series. Aaron Judge continued his standout season for New York, maintaining an impressive on-base streak and hitting his 12th home run during the series. Both teams demonstrated resilience and competitive fire, fueling what could become a compelling rivalry.
