The San Diego Padres rallied from an early four-run hole to secure an 8-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox in a dramatic finish, propelled by third baseman Manny Machado's unconventional play where he kicked aside a pickoff attempt to ignite a crucial run-scoring surge. Elsewhere, Miami's management executed a highly unusual move, allowing veteran reliever Pete Fairbanks, 32, to take the mound for a rare start, throwing 27 pitches in the first inning solely to clear his schedule to join his family on paternity leave following the birth of his child.
