Padres secure series victory over Yankees after four home runs

The San Diego Padres defeated the New York Yankees 4-3 in the final game of their three-game series on Sunday at Petco Park. San Diego starter Michael King provided six shutout innings against his former team to lead the defense. Gerrit Cole allowed three consecutive home runs to Fernando Tatis Jr., Jake Cronenworth, and Manny Machado to open the game, followed by a solo shot from Luis Campusano in the seventh inning. The Yankees attempted a late comeback in the eighth with three runs off reliever Adrian Morejon, but Padres closer Mason Miller struck out Ben Rice in the ninth to earn his 33rd save of the season. New York will move on to a six-game homestand beginning Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies, while the Padres prepare for an upcoming series against the Washington Nationals.
