San Diego finally snapped its four-game losing streak.

Stadium security guards have traditionally gone in for the tackle whenever fans rush the field at Major League Baseball games. Viral footage from the Padres' 5-1 win over the San Francisco Giants shows the boy circling San Diego right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. as security closed in around him. Standing perfectly still, Tatis watched as one guard finally got two hands on the boy as another colleague lowered his head for the tackle. Consequently, the boy and several security guards came crashing to the turf amid a chorus of boos from the crowd.

There once was a time that Marco Luciano was part of the future in the San Francisco Giants' outfield, a star in the making. The Giants thought so much of him as an international prospect that they paid the Dominican Republic native a $2.6 million bonus as a 16-year-old in 2018. Just about everywhere he went in San Francisco's minor league system, he hit. Did the Giants call him up too soon in 2023?

San Francisco Giants starter Kai-Wei Teng had another rough outing on Tuesday night, as he took the loss against the San Diego Padres, 5-1. “The first three innings, I thought it was pretty good,” Teng said through Giants' interpreter Andy Lin.

JP Sears gets a second chance to make a good impression on the San Diego Padres. Acquired from the Athletics on July 31 as part of the six-player blockbuster trade that involved closer Mason Miller and former San Diego top prospect Leo De Vries, Sears will start for the Padres Wednesday night when they continue their four-game series against the visiting San Francisco Giants.

Might not see him again until 2026.

Roughly a week ago, Kai-Wei Teng and Nick Pivetta faced off at Oracle Park in what ended up being a 10-run loss for the Giants. Teng had a promising beginning but faded in the fourth. Pivetta struck out 10 batters over six innings. Jung Hoo Lee's leadoff homer was San Francisco's only offense.

A young fan ran onto the field during Tuesday's Giants-Padres game, and the crowd was not pleased with the security response.

South Mississippi is mourning the loss of Biloxi icon Peter Roy Elder, who passed away unexpectedly on Monday night. “He was just the life of the party; wherever he went, he was the center stage,” Bobby Mahoney, owner of Mary Mahoney's Old French House and a friend of Elder, said. Known across Major League Baseball as a former prominent scout, Elder won six total World Series: three apiece with the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants.

Shortstop Willy Adames is not in the starting lineup for the Giants' Tuesday night matchup against the San Diego Padres due to right side soreness, per manager Bob Melvin. “You can see it on some of the swings the last couple days,” Melvin said. Infielder Christian Koss, who is hitting .272 with three home runs and three steals this season, is slated to start in Adames' place.
