Rookie Ethan Salas, 20, delivered a pinch-hit, walk-off single in the 10th inning that plated automatic runner Jake Cronenworth with one out as the San Diego Padres beat the Miami Marlins 7-6. The hit was Salas's first career walk-off and trimmed the Padres' magic number to three. At 20 years and 110 days, Salas is the youngest MLB player with a walk-off hit since Manny Machado on September 13, 2012, and he is the youngest player with a pinch-hit walk-off in at least the last 50 years. The victory moved San Diego into the No. 2 National League wild-card spot and extended the club's hot stretch to four straight wins and 13 victories in their last 15 games. The play came after a 10th-inning rally that followed Samad Taylor's solo homer and a sac fly earlier in the game, sealing a dramatic late finish for the Padres.
