The San Diego Padres had runners at second and third with no outs to start the top of the eighth inning. Manny Machado struck out, Gavin Sheets hit a tapper on the infield that resulted in the runner at third, Fernando Tatis Jr., being tagged out and Xander Bogaerts lined out to right field.
The inability to capitalize with runners in scoring position, a season-long ailment for the Padres, was magnified in the eighth and San Diego dropped the second game of the series to the Washington Nationals, 4-2.
Yu Darvish started on the mound for the Padres and completed five innings in his third start of the season.
