Agustin Ramirez's 4 RBIs leads Marlins' comeback win over Padres
Ramirez belted a solo homer in the third inning and added an RBI single as part of a five-run fifth inning.
Miami's Otto Lopez launched a three-run homer among his three hits and Jesus Sanchez had a solo shot.
Eric Wagaman had an RBI double and Javier Sanoja scored on a wild pitch for the Marlins, who overcame an early five-run deficit to salvage the finale of this three-game series.
Gavin Sheets belted a two-run homer to give San Diego an 8-7 lead in the seventh inning before the Marlins reached Jason Adam (5-1) in the eighth and prompted a mound visit for Wandy Peralta. The Padres elected to keep Peralta in the game, and Ramirez made them pay for that decision by ripping a single to center field to plate two runs and give Miami the advantage.
Wagaman's double extended the lead to 10-8 and made a winner out of Ronny Henriquez (3-1), who served up Sheets' homer. Henriquez allowed two runs on one hit in two innings to pick up the win, and Calvin Faucher retired the side in the ninth to secure his third save of the season.
Adam, who uncorked a run-scoring wild pitch in the seventh, allowed two runs on three hits in two-thirds of an inning.
Jake Cronenworth ripped a two-run double and Sheets, Elias Diaz and Manny Machado each had an RBI single for the Padres, who saw their three-game winning streak come to a halt.
Cronenworth's two-run double down the first base line gave San Diego a 3-1 lead in the fourth inning. The Padres weren't done, however, as Diaz and Machado sandwiched RBI singles around Luis Arraez's sacrifice fly as part of a five-run frame.
Miami, however, responded with a five-run inning in the fifth, with Sanchez belting a solo shot and Ramirez adding an RBI single. David Morgan replaced Kyle Hart and saw Lopez deposit his 0-1 fastball over the wall in left-center field for a three-run homer to forge a 6-6 tie.
Sheets' RBI single off Sandy Alcantara opened the scoring in the second inning before Ramirez leveled the contest in the third after belting a first-pitch fastball from Hart.

Padres' Fernando Tatis Jr. Sends Dodgers Message Ahead of NL West Showdown
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. This weekend's series between the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers is about as dramatic as the baseball gods could have drawn up. Obviously, these two teams have had some spicy confrontations in the past. They've also met in the playoffs twice in the last three years, with each team winning one. And after the Dodgers led the National League West by nine games at the start of play on July 4, the Padres lead by one entering Friday's opener in Los Angeles after a shocking turn of events.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - AUGUST 12: Fernando Tatis Jr. #23 of the San Diego Padres looks on from the dugout against the San Francisco Giants in the top of the first inning of a major league baseball game at Oracle Park on August 12, 2025 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)San Diego hasn't won a division title since 2006, and the Dodgers have won 11 of the last 12. The Padres know the history, yet they don't sound like they're being deterred from thinking they have the better team. Nor should they be, because as star right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. illustrated before the series opener, their destiny is in their own hands. "That's what we're playing for," Tatis Jr. said, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. "And, you know, we have to take the lead in first place and stay consistent. This is the team to do it. So it's now a matter of fact, it's in our hands, how much we want it." The Dodgers won five of the first seven matchups between the two squads earlier this year, so the Padres would have to win five of the final six to steal back the tiebreaker. But they're already ahead, so they'd rather just maintain that lead. Tatis, meanwhile, has batted .261 with 19 home runs against the Dodgers in his career during the regular season, and last October, he belted three home runs in an eventual loss in the Division Series. It's going to be a pressure-packed, riveting showdown, and it begins with future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw on the mound at Dodger Stadium on Friday night.

Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw Offers 2-Word Response to Message From Padres
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Los Angeles Dodgers are sitting behind the division rival San Diego Padres in the standings as a second-half freefall suddenly raises new questions about their ability to capture a top playoff spot. After leading the division all season, the Dodgers are going into a series with the Padres needing to make up ground. If their fall continues, they could find themselves without a critical first-round bye or home field advantage for the postseason. And, as if the stakes for the rivalry series weren't already high enough, the Padres' latest star addition underscored his new club's disdain for the Dodgers in some public comments. "They told me right away, 'Obviously, we don't like those guys a whole lot,'" Padres reliever Mason Miller said on the "Foul Territory" podcast, after joining the team via a deadline trade deal with the Athletics. "I haven't really had a rivalry to that extent. ... Not a rivalry to the sense of, the Padres and the Dodgers." KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI - JUNE 27: Clayton Kershaw #22 of the Los Angeles Dodgers looks on in the dugout prior to a game against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium on June 27, 2025...

(Photo by) More Sloter/Getty The Dodgers are well aware that the Padres don't really like them, given their World Series credentials and the back-and-forth jawing that has been a feature of their recent matchups. When told about Miller's comments, Dodgers veteran Clayton Kershaw dismissed any hard feelings with a two-word message. "That's fine," Kershaw said, according to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register. "I don't feel any one way about them. I just want to win the division." In recent seasons, the Padres have been a little more outspoken about their specific disdain for the Dodgers, while Dodgers players and manager Dave Roberts tend to suggest the rivalry isn't as meaningful to them. Kershaw explained that outlook by noting that his team has had several different regional rivals over the years while generally maintaining a top spot in the division. "In the whole time I've been here, it's gone from the (San Francisco) Giants to the (Colorado) Rockies to the (Arizona) Diamondbacks to the Padres to the Giants again," Kershaw added, per Plunkett. "So ... I think the one constant is we're always in it. It's just kind of the next-best team changes. Right now, it's them." Kershaw might feel like the "next-best" team in the National League West is always changing, but the standings say that the Padres now hold the top spot and the second best has suddenly become the Dodgers.
