The San Diego Padres defeated the Baltimore Orioles 9-4 on Saturday, extending their winning streak to seven games. Pitcher Michael King led the Padres with a strong performance, allowing only two hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings. Manny Machado, a former Oriole, hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning. The Orioles struggled defensively, committing errors that contributed to San Diego’s lead. Despite their recent struggles, the Orioles are still in first place in the AL East. The Padres have the longest active winning streak in baseball, while the Orioles are facing the possibility of ending a streak of nine straight winning months. In the next game, the Padres will aim for a three-game sweep with Randy Vásquez on the mound.
