SAN DIEGO, California — Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a towering two-run homer on his first playoff swing in four years, and Michael King struck out 12 in his first postseason start as the San Diego Padres beat rookie AJ Smith-Shawver and the Atlanta Braves , 4-0, in Game 1 of their National League Wild Card Series on Tuesday .Tatis' 415-foot shot landed in the second deck in left field at Petco Park and sent the towel-waving, sellout crowd of 47,647 into a frenzy.
King made his playoff debut with the New York Yankees in the AL playoff bubble in 2020 at eerily empty Petco Park, where the only 'fans' were a few thousand cardboard cutouts. He pitched two innings in a loss in Game 3 in a Division Series that Tampa Bay won in five games.The right-hander came over in the blockbuster trade that sent Juan Soto to the Yankees on December 7.The Padres were the only one of the four home teams to win Tuesday.
