Fernando Tatis Jr. Joins 100 Home Runs, 100 Stolen Bases Club in Padres Win

Fernando Tatis Jr. propelled the San Diego Padres to a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates by doubling, stealing third base, and scoring the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the ninth inning. This dramatic play came just a day after Tatis was hit by a pitch, but he returned to play and reached the milestone of 100 career stolen bases, joining the exclusive 100 home runs-100 stolen bases club. Manny Machado contributed a game-tying home run in the seventh, and the Padres' bullpen shut down the Pirates to secure the win and their fourth consecutive victory. Despite a strong start from Pirates pitcher Bailey Falter and multiple opportunities with runners on base, Pittsburgh could not capitalize, leaving 10 runners stranded. The Pirates' struggles continue with this loss, their third in a row, while Tatis stands out for both his resilience and elite performance early in the season. Tatis currently holds one of the top batting averages and OPS in the National League.
