A disastrous fifth inning doomed the Giants in San Francisco's 8-4 loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday afternoon at Petco Park.

Manny Machado drove in three runs against Justin Verlander and the San Diego Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 8-4 in a sloppy game.

Through three innings, the Giants positioned themselves to at least salvage a series split. Verlander retired the first nine batters he faced, and rare shoddy defense from right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. paved the way for San Francisco to take a 2-0 lead.

Petco park erupted in boos after a security guard brutally tackled a San Diego Padres kid who ran out on the field.

Gavin Sheets hit two of San Diego's four home runs and drove in four runs, and Fernando Tatis Jr. robbed Giant's Rafael Devers of a homer.

The San Francisco Giants will likely use the MLB Draft to continue building their farm system. Next year, the draft will be as important as ever.

BOTTOM LINE: The San Diego Padres face the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. San Diego has a 70-56 record overall and a 39-21 record at home. Padres hitters are batting a collective .251, which ranks fourth in the NL.

The Padres capitalized on some sloppy Giants defense in a win over San Francisco, setting up another 1st place battle with the Dodgers.
