The sellout crowd at Petco Park saw more than just a strong pitching performance. The victory pushed San Diego into the top spot in the NL West, a sign that their aggressive trade deadline moves are already paying off. Cortes was acquired from Milwaukee on July 31, giving the Padres another dependable arm in a rotation that needed stability.

Stanton and the Yankees will draw Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet, who is pitching like a Cy Young candidate this season but has looked vulnerable of late. Over Crochet’s last four starts, he’s allowed four long balls.
