Ultimate: Padres 4, Braves 0
Recreation 1 to San Diego. Michael King shoved. Fernando Tatis Jr. and Kyle Higashioka homered and had two RBIs apiece. The Padres push a beleaguered Braves group to the brink. All six prior groups to win Recreation 1 of a Wild Card Sequence at dwelling have swept in 2.
