The San Diego Padres are gearing up to face the Atlanta Braves in Game 2 of their Wild Card Series, with hopes of securing a spot in the NLDS. After a commanding 4-0 victory in Game 1, fueled by a Fernando Tatis Jr. homer and stellar pitching from Michael King, the Padres are looking to continue their success on Wednesday night at Petco Park.
Veteran righty Joe Musgrove will take the mound for the Padres, while Braves lefty Max Fried will look to save Atlanta’s season. The game is set to begin at 8:38 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN2. Fans can catch the action for free using streaming platforms like FuboTV and DirecTV Stream.
Tatis’ impressive home run in Game 1 left the sellout crowd of nearly 50,000 fans at Petco Park in awe, propelling the Padres to victory. King, making his first postseason start, struck out 12 batters and did not allow a run in a dominant performance.
If the Padres secure a win in Game 2, they will face their division rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers, in the NLDS. The excitement is palpable as the Padres aim to continue their playoff run and advance to the next round.
