NEW YORK — Ryan Weathers walked a tightrope, Manny Machado dropped a double on the foul line and Xander Bogaerts yanked a ball into the second deck of seats beyond left field.
All that provided a 4-2 victory over the Mets on Tuesday night that assured the Padres would finish their seven-game trip against two other National League pennant contenders with a winning record.
After taking three of four in Atlanta, the Padres can win this series with a victory in Wednesday’s finale.
