**New York, NY** – The San Diego Padres overcame a three-run deficit and a pair of ejections to defeat the New York Yankees 4-3 Monday night in a rain-delayed game. The victory marks the Padres’ sixth consecutive win.

Carlos Rodón pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings for San Diego, leaving with a comfortable 3-0 lead. However, the Yankees rallied, with Trent Grisham hitting a two-run homer and Anthony Volpe adding a sacrifice fly.

The Padres’ comeback began in the eighth inning against relievers Devin Williams and Luke Weaver. With the bases loaded, Manny Machado delivered a two-run double, followed by a two-run single from Xander Bogaerts. The rally was punctuated by the ejections of Padres manager Mike Shildt and star player Fernando Tatis Jr. following a disagreement with the umpire.

Ryan Bergert earned his first major league win in relief, and Robert Suarez secured his 14th save of the season. Despite Aaron Judge extending his on-base streak to 31 games, his 14-game hitting streak ended, lowering his batting average to .414. Luke Weaver, who had been virtually unhittable before entering the game, suffered the loss.

The game, delayed twice by rain, saw a stark contrast in pitching performances between the two teams’ starting rotations. Rodón and Max Fried have combined for a stellar 10-3 record and 2.03 ERA for the Padres, while the Yankees’ starters have struggled, with a combined 3-6 record and a 6.02 ERA. The teams continue their series Tuesday.
