The San Diego Padres play the New York Mets after Manny Machado had four hits against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Just when Mike Shildt and the San Diego Padres needed it most, the best players on the team stepped up in a big way. Following back-to-back days of benches clearing in St. Louis between the Cardinals and Padres, cooler heads prevailed on Sunday.

Manny Machado went 4-for-5 and drove in three runs as the visiting San Diego Padres rolled over the St. Louis Cardinals 9-2 Sunday afternoon. Jackson Merrill drove in two runs for the Padres, who won their last two games to earn a split in this four-game series.
