**Cronenworth Walk-Off Caps Padres’ Extra-Inning Win Over Rangers**

SAN DIEGO — Jake Cronenworth delivered a clutch, two-out single in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting the San Diego Padres to a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday night.

With the bases loaded and two outs, Cronenworth lined a single to right field off Rangers reliever Robert Garcia (1-4), scoring automatic runner Jackson Merrill and igniting a Padres celebration at second base. It was Cronenworth’s fifth career walk-off hit.

The Rangers, who have struggled in extra innings recently, found themselves in the familiar situation for the sixth time in their last nine games, losing four of them.

Manny Machado powered the Padres offense with a solo home run in the fourth inning, bringing his career hit total to 1,997. He is approaching a significant milestone, aiming to become only the 12th player in MLB history to reach 350 home runs and 2,000 hits by the age of 32.

Texas took an early lead in the third when Marcus Semien doubled in Josh Smith and Corey Seager. The Padres tied the game in the sixth when Luis Arraez singled in Fernando Tatis Jr., who had tripled to lead off the inning.

The game was not without concern for the Padres, as Xander Bogaerts left the game after apparently injuring himself while swinging at a pitch.

Adrian Morejon (5-3) earned the win for the Padres.

Looking ahead, Rangers RHP Jack Leiter (4-5, 4.29 ERA) is scheduled to face Padres RHP Stephen Kolek (3-3, 3.73 ERA) on Saturday night.
