US EditionTatis, Cronenworth homer to give the Padres 4-3 win against the Braves
- On March 27, 2025, the San Diego Padres defeated the visiting Atlanta Braves 7-4 at Petco Park in San Diego, California, marking a come-from-behind victory on Opening Day.
- The Padres' win was fueled by a four-run rally in the seventh inning, sparked by Gavin Sheets' tying home run off Hctor Neris after the team had struggled to get runners on base in the previous three innings.
- Jackson Merrill drove in four runs and became the first Padres player age 21 or younger to have three or more RBIs on opening day, while Fernando Tatis Jr. Went 3-for-4, stole two bases, and scored a run.
- Padres manager Mike Shildt highlighted the team's offensive capabilities and baserunning, noting that Fernando Tatis Jr. Could potentially lead off in future games, and also mentioned Luis Arraez fits at the top of the order, while Manny Machado stole a pair of bases.
- Chris Sale pitched five innings for the Braves, allowing three runs on six hits and striking out seven, while Austin Riley hit a 401-foot home run to give Atlanta a 4-3 lead before the bullpen faltered, and Drake Baldwin became the Braves' first starting catcher to make his major league debut on opening day since 1951.
