The Braves lost for the eighth time in 11 games and were overtaken by the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers for the best record in the majors. The Padres, coming off a 4-5 trip through Baltimore, St. Louis and Texas, face the Braves for three games before hosting the Dodgers for three games this weekend.<\/p>\n

Machado homered into the Padres\u2019 bullpen beyond the center-field fence leading off the fourth against Grant Holmes (4-4). Machado came in hitting just .179 but connected for his team-leading 14th homer and 43rd RBI.<\/p>\n

Machado also doubled leading off the eighth for San Diego\u2019s fourth hit. Ten of his last 13 hits have been for extra bases.<\/p>\n

King (5-6) held the Braves to six singles while striking out five and walking none. The Braves had runners on second and third with two outs in the second before King retired Jorge Mateo.<\/p>

King hadn\u2019t won since beating the Dodgers 1-0 on May 18, giving the Padres a half-game lead over Los Angeles in the division. The Dodgers regained the lead the next night.<\/p>\n

Mason Miller pitched the ninth for his NL-leading 21st save. He put two runners on with two outs before striking out Mike Yastrzemski to end it.<\/p>\n

Holmes allowed three hits in 4 2\/3 innings, walked five and struck out four. He was lifted after issuing consecutive walks, but Didier Fuentes came on and struck out Gavin Sheets.<\/p>\n

Braves RHP JR Ritchie (1-2, 4.54 ERA) is scheduled to start Tuesday night. The Padres hadn\u2019t announced a starter.<\/p>
