Luis Campusano hits walk-off home run to help Padres defeat Yankees

The San Diego Padres defeated the New York Yankees 3-2 on Friday night at Petco Park behind a walk-off home run from catcher Luis Campusano. The winning hit came in the tenth inning, immediately after the Yankees had taken a one-run lead in the top half of the frame. Campusano’s performance was statistically significant, as he became one of only two catchers to hit a walk-off homer and throw out three base stealers in the same game. Padres starter Walker Buehler contributed five innings while allowing only one run against a lineup containing eight left-handed hitters. The victory helps San Diego maintain its hold on the third and final National League Wild Card spot as they look to distance themselves from the Arizona Diamondbacks. The two teams are scheduled to continue their three-game series on Saturday.
