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.
