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.

The Padres tied a game they shouldn’t have trailed in the fourth inning, scored six runs in the fifth inning with help from a two-error play and survived a burst of a comeback powered by back-to-back homers off Dylan Cease at the start of the sixth.
