Bombs and the bullpen lift Padres past Diamondbacks - San Diego Union-Tribune
With home runs from Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado and their highest-leverage relievers covering more than half the game, the Padres beat the Diamondbacks 4-3 on Thursday night at Petco Park.
It was just the second time this season that Tatis and Machado homered in the same game. Xander Bogaerts drove in his first run of July with his first extra-base hit of July.

On Thursday – before the Padres earned a split against the D-backs with a 4-3 victory at Petco Park – King threw his first formal bullpen session since he sustained the injury.
After King threw, it was pointed out to him that his bobblehead night is Aug. 20. It was then suggested to King that his own bobblehead night might be a good day to make his return. He gave a skeptical look and offered the first hint of a potential target date for his return to the mound.
“It'll be well before that,” King said. “That would not be a good one.”
