San Diego won the home game against the Detroit Tigers 3-0 at Petco Park on the 3rd (Korea time) and won two consecutive games.
The San Diego Padres, which marked 79 wins and 61 losses, maintained a five-game win over the NL West's No. 1 Dodgers (83 wins and 55 losses). On the same day, the Dodgers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks (77-61) 11-6. Arizona, which was second place the day before, fell to third place.
San Diego scored the first run in the bottom of the third inning with Luis Arraez hitting a right-handed hit, and added two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning with Arraez's heavy hit and Manny Machado's right-handed hit to seal the victory 3-0.
Starting pitcher Joe Musgrove is the main player in the victory. He pitched three hits, two walks and eight strikeouts in six innings, winning five games (4 losses) this season. Jason Adam and Tanner Scott then stopped seven and eight innings without allowing one inning each and added a hold, and closer Robert Suarez put one inning to rest in the ninth inning with three outs and marked 31 saves of the season.
As good news as the victory came on this day. Fernando Tatis Jr. returned for the first time in 73 days since the game against the Milwaukee Brewers on June 22. He was on the injured list (IL) due to a right thigh stress reaction.

Tatis Jr. received a truly incredible hospitality after the game. I could feel a lot of energy. I'm happy that the team won the game when I came back."I had a really nice feeling when I went out to watch the defense. I don't know how to express it," he said.
Starting pitcher Darvish Yu will also join. At 10:40 a.m. on the 5th, the starting lineup was confirmed against Detroit at Petco Park. Darvish, who was on the IL due to a groin injury after the Miami Marlins match on May 30, was listed on the Restricted List on July 7 due to his personal death and was transferred back to the IL on the 24th of last month, 48 days later, to prepare for his return. He pitched four innings against Cincinnati Reds minor league hitters on the 31st of last month, and finished preparing to return by playing bullpen pitching at Petco Park.
Now the remaining player is Kim Ha-sung. Kim Ha-sung injured his right shoulder while sliding to first base in a hurry to check the opponent after hitting in the third inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on the 19th. Kim Ha-sung, who was on the 10-day injured list (IL) the next day, was originally expected to be able to return on the 30th, but he failed to throw properly and moved to Arizona Spring Training Camp to focus on rehabilitation. And he joined the Petco Park squad on that day.
MLB.com said on the 3rd 'Kim Ha-sung returned to the squad in time for today's game against Detroit. He conducted batting and defensive training, but still hasn't made a throw across the infieldCoach Mike Shildt is watching the situation to see if he can return by the 9th, the last day of this six-game home series.
After resting on the 4th, San Diego will play the other two of the three consecutive games against Detroit until the 5th and 6th, and play the San Francisco Giants three consecutive games at home on the 7th and 9th. In other words, Kim Ha-sung can return during this period. In other words, the return will be delayed by about a week than originally expected.
