The Padres jumped out to a quick 3–0 lead in the top of the first on a three run home run by Gary Sanchez, and Manny Machado extended the lead to 6-0 in the third with another three run shot off of San Francisco starter and loser Alex Wood (2-2, 5.17).

The loss snapped the Giants ten game winning streak, their longest since the 2004 season.

Snell (4-6, 3.22) was masterful for the Padres, only allowing three singles on the way to his third consecutive win.
