With runners on first and second and two outs in the fourth, Tatis doubled into the left field corner to bring in Trenton Brooks for a 2-1 lead. Martín Maldonado came around from first, slid headfirst and originally was called safe on Marcus Semien's relay throw to catcher Jonah Heim, but the Rangers challenged and the call was overturned.
The Padres failed to capitalize on a bases-loaded situation with two outs in the bottom of the first against Jack Leiter (4-6). But they tied it two innings later when Tatis reached on a leadoff walk, stole second and scored on Luis Arraez's two-out single to center.
Maldonado and Jake Cronenworth singled in runs in the sixth and seventh, respectively.
Padres rookie opener David Morgan had a rough first inning but allowed the only run thanks to a play at the plate and a great diving catch by Cronenworth with the bases loaded.

Leiter allowed two runs and five hits in 3 2/3 innings, with five strikeouts and two walks.
Kyle Hart (3-2) got the win and Robert Suarez pitched a perfect ninth for his 25th save to tie for the big league lead.
Key moment
Tatis' RBI double came one pitch after he was brushed back and lost hold of his bat.
Key stat
Manny Machado, who needs two hits to reach 2,000 for his career, went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.
Up next
Rangers RHP Jacob deGrom (9-2, 2.13 ERA), who was named to the American League All-Star team, is scheduled to start Monday night in the opener of a four-game series at the Los Angeles Angels. Padres RHP Yu Darvish, out with elbow inflammation since spring training, makes his season debut.

2025 free agent rankings, questions from the mailbag & Heart and Hustle Awards
Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube Jake's 2025 free agent rankings are in. Is Kyle Schwarber really ahead of Pete Alonso? Guest host, Bailey Freeman, aka Foolish Baseball, pinch hits for Jordan Shusterman and gives his thoughts on Jake's list. Where does he agree and disagree with the rankings mid-season? The Yankees lost again, and this time Aaron Judge was in the lineup. The guys give their thoughts on the situation in the Bronx and take a look, maybe regrettably so, at the Yankees mentions following their 2-0 loss to the Rangers on this week's "Sorry for Your Mentions." You provided the questions and now Jake and Bailey will provide the answers. They reach into the mailbag and answer some questions from the audience! Do MLB players get jury duty? What other non-baseball stadiums should host a game? How exactly should we be evaluating MLB managers? The guys discuss. The Heart and Hustle Award, possibly MLB's least talked about award, is given out by the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association to the player who demonstrates a passion for the game of baseball and best embodies the values, spirit and traditions of the game. Each team has a winner, and then an overall winner is selected from each of the 30 individual team winners. Bailey tries to guess each team's choice. Jordan will do the same on Friday. Who knows ball more? We will find out. Join us on this mid-week edition of Baseball Bar-B-Cast.

Packers-Lions season opener draws top broadcast crew at CBS
The Green Bay Packers' season opener against the Detroit Lions will get the top broadcasting crew at CBS. The Week 1 showdown, which is scheduled for a 3:25 p.m. local kickoff time from Lambeau Field on Sunday, Sept. 7, will get Jim Nantz and Tony Romo in the booth and Tracy Wolfson on the sideline for CBS. Being the top game on CBS should mean a majority of the country gets to see Packers-Lions in Week 1. The only other competing game in the same time slot on CBS is Texans-Rams, another terrific matchup. Although the network only announced the first three weeks, Week 1 likely won't be the only time the Packers get the best from CBS in 2025. Matt LaFleur's team plays Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in the 3:25 p.m. time slot on CBS in Week 6 and the upstart Denver Broncos in the 3:25 p.m. time slot on CBS in Week 15.
