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.

Manny Machado drove in three runs against Justin Verlander and the San Diego Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 8-4 in a sloppy game.

Through three innings, the Giants owned a 2-0 lead and positioned themselves to at least salvage a series split. Justin Verlander retired the first nine batters he faced, and the offense scored a pair of runs in the third thanks to rare shoddy defense from Platinum Glover Fernando Tatis Jr.
