Ty France’s 2-run triple leads Padres over Giants 5-1

In a decisive game, Ty France’s two-run triple in the seventh inning propelled the San Diego Padres to a 5-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants. The Giants, struggling with eight losses in their last nine games, managed only three hits and struck out 13 times. The game was tied 1-1 until the seventh inning when Fernando Tatis Jr. reached base on an error, setting the stage for France’s crucial hit. Xander Bogaerts later extended the Padres’ lead with a two-run homer in the eighth. San Diego’s Matt Waldron delivered a strong performance, allowing just one run over five innings. The Giants’ lone run came from Rafael Devers’ home run. The Padres will face the St. Louis Cardinals next, while the Giants prepare to host the Pittsburgh Pirates.
