Tatis powers Padres past Mets in 5-2 victory

Fernando Tatis Jr. propelled the San Diego Padres to a 5-2 win over the New York Mets on August 18 at Citi Field. Tatis hit two home runs, contributing three runs to the Padres’ total. Mets starter Zac Thornton allowed three earned runs in five innings but struggled against Tatis. The Mets managed two solo home runs from Luis Torrens and Luis Robert Jr., but the offense was otherwise limited. Robbie Ray held the Mets to three hits over six innings, helping secure the win for San Diego. The teams will face off again tomorrow in the series finale, with Robert Stock set to start for the Mets against Michael King.
