The Padres won 4-0 in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series last night against the Atlanta Braves.
State of play: Outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. got Petco Park jumping early after smacking a 415 foot two-run homer in the first inning. The Padres scored again in the second and eighth innings.
Stunning stat: Michael King became the first Padres pitcher to strike out 10 or more batters in a playoff game since 1998 — also against Atlanta — according to The Athletic reporter Dennis Lin.
What's next: First pitch for Game 2 at Petco Park this evening is at 5:38pm on ESPN2.
