The projected starter for the Padres was Michael King and he was scratched from his start with shoulder tightness less than an hour before game time. San Diego was forced into a bullpen game, which allowed Sean Reynolds to make his first MLB start. Reynolds allowed three runs in 2 2/3 innings on six hits.

Ronald Acuña Jr. homered for the second straight game in his return from a nearly year-long absence due to a knee injury, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 7-1 win over the San Diego Padres.
