Padres hold off Giants despite four San Francisco home runs
Summary

The San Diego Padres secured a 7-6 victory over the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park on September 12, 2026. Despite San Francisco hitters tallying four home runs, defensive miscues and struggles on the mound prevented a comeback. Rafael Devers hit his 37th home run of the season for the Giants, while Shay Whitcomb, Drew Cavanaugh, and Drew Gilbert also cleared the fences. Padres starter Michael King limited the Giants offense across his outing, and relievers Adrian Morejon and Mason Miller closed the door to preserve the lead. This loss marks the seventh defeat for the Giants in their last nine meetings against San Diego. San Francisco remains at home to finish the current series.
