Spencer Jones Starts Key Rally Against Hometown Team as Yankees Beat Padres 5-1

Spencer Jones drove a four-run second inning as the Yankees held San Diego to three hits and moved within one win of a 34th straight winning season.

  • The New York Yankees beat the San Diego Padres 5-1 on Saturday, sparked by a four-run second-inning rally. Padres starter Robbie Ray lasted only 2 1/3 innings, his shortest outing since August 14, 2024.
  • Acquired from the San Francisco Giants at the August 3 trade deadline, Ray has struggled to find consistency with San Diego. The left-hander now holds a 4.71 ERA across six starts with the Padres.
  • Yankees rookie Spencer Jones hit a two-out RBI double against his hometown team to ignite the offense. Pitcher Carlos Rodón and four relievers limited San Diego to three hits, moving New York within one victory of clinching a 34th straight winning season.
  • The Padres have lost six of eight games and now trail the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League wild-card race. With 21 games remaining, San Diego faces mounting pressure to secure a postseason spot.
  • Sunday's series finale features Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole against Padres right-hander Michael King . Both teams aim to capitalize on this critical late-season stretch.
