The San Diego Padres beat the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves 1-0 as Manny Machado hits a home run and starter Michael King delivers seven strong innings. King earns his first win since May 18, allowing Atlanta to score no runs in the game. Machado’s homer provides the only run of the contest. The Braves lose for the eighth time in their most recent 11 games, and their defeat contributes to shifts at the top of the standings, with Los Angeles moving ahead for the best record in Major League Baseball. San Diego comes into the matchup after a recent trip that included games in Baltimore, St. Louis and Texas, finishing 4-5 on that swing. The teams continue their series following Monday’s result, with Atlanta and San Diego set to play three games against each other. The schedule then turns to a three-game set featuring the Dodgers hosting the Padres this weekend.
