**Padres Power Past Braves, Win Series in Atlanta**

**ATLANTA** – The San Diego Padres defeated the Atlanta Braves 5-3 on Sunday, securing a series win thanks to a late-inning surge powered by home runs. Jake Cronenworth’s go-ahead solo shot in the seventh inning highlighted a three-homer performance for the Padres, who have struggled in the recent past.

San Diego’s Gavin Sheets also contributed with a two-run blast in the sixth to tie the game, following an error by Braves third baseman Austin Riley. Manny Machado added another long ball. The win marks a positive turn for the Padres (W-L) after a six-game losing streak, snapped Friday night. They will begin a three-game home series against the Marlins on Monday.

The Braves (W-L) were led by Ronald Acuña Jr., who had a double and a walk, but couldn’t replicate his home run heroics from the previous two games. Spencer Schwellenbach pitched well for Atlanta, striking out a career-high 11 over seven innings but ultimately taking the loss (3-4). The Braves will get a day of rest on Monday before travelling to Philadelphia for a three-game series against the Phillies beginning Tuesday night.

The Padres overcame the loss of right-hander Michael King, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list with shoulder inflammation. Dylan Cease pitched five innings for San Diego, striking out eight but earning a no-decision. Jeremiah Estrada (2-3) earned the win in relief, and Robert Suarez notched his 17th save.
