Fernando Tatis Jr. continues to prove that he’s worthy of a lifetime extension with the Padres, tying up the game in the ninth inning.

One of these days, the Padres will have a drama-free game with no bullpen meltdowns while the offense continues to stay hot. Unfortunately, only one of those stayed true in the team’s comeback win over the Rockies on Friday night.

Clinging to a 3-2 lead in the sixth inning, Matt Strahm took over for starting pitcher Garrett Richards, who went 5.2 innings while fanning six batters.
