Colorado Rockies' Hunter Goodman, front left, slides into third base for a triple as San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado, front right, applies a late tag while third base umpire Andy Fletcher makes the call in the sixth inning of a baseball game Monday, Sept. 14, 2026, in Denver.
As featured on
Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. homered, helping the San Diego Padres beat the skidding Colorado Rockies 8-7 to match their longest winning streak this season at eight games. San Diego stayed 2 1/2 games ahead of Arizona for the final National League wild card and clinched a fifth straight winning season for the first time in club history. Colorado has lost eight games in a row for the first time since August 2025 and is 5-21 since Aug. 16. The Rockies must win at least eight of their last 12 games to avoid becoming the first team with four consecutive 100-loss seasons since the New York Mets from 1962-65.
