The Padres beat the Giants 6-4 on Opening Day at Petco Park.
Small things count. Details matter. The 2023 Padres were not very good at doing the small things like moving runners up or working deep counts, and it kept them out of the playoffs last year.
San Francisco started a guy who's going to be in the Cy Young conversation. Logan Webb retired the first nine Padres in order but finally got into trouble when he walked Manny Machado to lead off the fifth inning. Ha-Seong Kim and Jurickson Profar followed with singles to bring home Manny and tie it 1-1. Another single from Luis Campusano loaded the bases, then Tyler Wade hit a dribbler up the first-base line to bring home Kim and put the Padres on top 2-1.
