The Major League San Diego Padres overcame the setback of their star batter and manager being ejected in succession to achieve a dramatic comeback victory.

On the 6th (Korean time), San Diego faced the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium in New York City, trailing 0-3 before scoring 4 runs in the 8th inning for a 4-3 comeback win. The game started late due to rain, and there was a brief suspension in the 4th inning, totaling 28 minutes of stoppage.

With this victory, San Diego recorded 23 wins and 11 losses, chasing the Los Angeles Dodgers (24 wins and 11 losses) by half a game.

Until midway through the game, the flow favored the Yankees. Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon pitched 6⅔ innings, allowing 3 hits, 1 walk, and striking out 5 without allowing a run.

In the 3rd inning, Yankees lead-off batter Yobit Bibas reached base on a walk, and Trent Grisham hit a two-run home run over the right field wall, giving the Yankees a 2-0 lead.

In the 6th inning, Paul Goldschmidt of the Yankees reached base with a single to left field. San Diego removed starting pitcher Pivetta and brought in relief pitcher Yuki Matsui. Kodi Bellinger was out on a pop-up to second base, and Goldschmidt successfully stole second base and advanced to third due to a throwing error by the catcher. With one out and a runner on third, Anthony Volpe's sacrifice fly to left field made it 3-0.

In the 7th inning, San Diego had a chance with one out after Xander Bogaerts drew a walk and Oscar Gonzalez hit a single to center field, putting runners on first and third. The Yankees removed starting pitcher Carlos Rodon and brought in Fernando Cruz as the second reliever.

While pinch-hitter Gavin Sheets was at bat, a wild pitch occurred and the ball bounced near home plate. The runner on third attempted to dash home but was tagged out by the catcher after retrieving the ball.

In the 8th inning, against Yankees reliever Devin Williams, San Diego had a chance with one out after Tyler Wade drew a walk and Brandon Lockridge hit a single to center field. After striking out looking at a borderline pitch in the 1st inning, swinging and missing on a high fastball in the 3rd inning, and flying out to right field in the 6th inning, Tatis Jr. struck out swinging.

After the strikeout, Tatis Jr. made a comment to home plate umpire Adrian Johnson contesting the third strike call and headed toward the dugout. Johnson ejected Tatis.

Then, Manager Schilt ran onto the field, threw down the lineup card, tossed his pen, and even took off his glasses in a heated protest to the umpire. Ultimately, Manager Schilt was also ejected.

After Manager Schilt and Tatis Jr. were ejected, the San Diego lineup exploded. With two outs and runners on first and second, Luis Arraez drew a walk to load the bases. The Yankees removed Williams and brought in closer Luke Weaver. Manny Machado hit a two-RBI double rolling to the left field fence, narrowing the score to 3-2. Bogaerts capitalized on the first pitch with a timely hit in front of the left fielder, allowing all runners to score for a successful 4-3 comeback.

In the 8th inning, Jeremy Estrada held the Yankees scoreless, and in the 9th inning, closer Robert Suárez retired the side in order, securing a one-run victory.

San Diego starter Nick Pivetta recorded 5 innings, allowing 5 hits, 4 walks, and striking out 5 while giving up 3 runs (2 earned runs). Suárez recorded his 14th save of the season.

Yankees' Aaron Judge went 0-for-3 with 1 walk, bringing his season batting average to .414 and OPS to 1.262.
