The Padres finished with 10 hits, their 11th time with at least that many in the past 25 games. Wednesday was the eighth time in that span they scored at least seven runs. In their previous 64 games, they reached double digits in hits 15 times and scored at least seven runs just seven times.

Manny Machado drove in three runs against Justin Verlander and the San Diego Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 8-4 on Thursday in a sloppy game. The Padres took three of four from the Giants and have won three straight going into a second straight weekend showdown against the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
