— Jurickson Profar propelled the San Diego Padres to a thrilling 6-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night, marking the team's sixth consecutive win. Profar's standout performance included two two-run homers, with the decisive shot coming in the ninth inning off Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel, who has struggled recently, blowing saves in two of his last three outings. The Baltimore crowd expressed their frustration with Kimbrel after he allowed a single and then Profar's 18th homer of the season, which broke a tie established by the Orioles in the eighth. The game saw a dramatic shift in momentum as the Orioles rallied to tie the score at 4 in the eighth, thanks to Anthony Santander's 29th home run of the season. Earlier, the Padres had taken a 3-2 lead after a throwing error by shortstop Gunnar Henderson allowed Manny Machado to reach second base, followed by an RBI double from Jackson Merrill. The Padres utilized a committee approach on the mound, deploying seven pitchers, with Robert Suarez earning the win by securing the final five outs. The Orioles initially took the lead with a solo homer from Jordan Westburg in the second inning and capitalized on a throwing error by Padres reliever Austin Davis in the fourth. In injury news, Padres shortstop Ha-Seong Kim was shaken up but remained in the game, while Orioles manager Brandon Hyde reported that second baseman Jorge Mateo is dealing with swelling in his left elbow and is awaiting further testing.
