San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres beat the Boston Red Sox, 5-4, in walk-off fashion, thanks to a Ramon Laureano chopper. The Friars improved to 65-52 on the year.

Ahead of the eventual victory, Michael King was activated from the injured list. The right-hander had been out of commission since the end of May as he finally returned to the mound on Saturday.

Additionally, an All-Star is predicted to leave San Diego by an MLB insider. The infielder is said to join to the New York Yankees on a lucrative contract, but the All-Star has been a pivotal part of the Padres' success over the years.

Finally, a former Padres outfielder has found a new home with a National League contender. After being released from San Diego on Friday, the 29-year-old has inked a minor league deal with a new club.
