Gurriel’s pinch-hit RBI single lifts Padres to 1-0 win over Braves
- On Saturday, the San Diego Padres defeated the Atlanta Braves 1-0 at Petco Park, securing their third consecutive win in the four-game series.
- This series is a rematch of last season's wild-card playoff, which the Padres won in a two-game sweep.
- The game's only run occurred in the seventh inning when pinch-hitter Yuli Gurriel singled to score Jake Cronenworth, who reached base on an unusual ground-rule double after Aaron Bummer was hit by a liner.
- Both starting pitchers, Spencer Schwellenbach for the Braves and Randy Vásquez for the Padres, pitched six shutout innings, with Schwellenbach allowing one hit and Vásquez permitting four.
- Wandy Peralta earned the win pitching 1 1/3 innings, and Adrian Morejon secured his first save despite pitching around a leadoff walk, as the Padres look to complete the sweep on Sunday.
