The first 3 Padres reached base against John Means before Manny Machado doubled home 2 runs. Luke Voit followed with an RBI groundout to tie the game at 3. Luis Campusano singled to put runners at the corners, but Means got Jurickson Profar to ground into a 6-4-3 inning to end the inning.

Noel hit his 17th home run with 1 out in the 3rd to put Charlotte back on top, 4-3. Brandon Drury then beat out an infield single but had to leave the game with an injury. Andy Ibanez replaced Drury in the lineup.

Owen Miller singled home another run in the top of the 4th.

After the rough 1st inning, Means settled down, but Machado led off the 6th with his 10th home run. After Means walked Voit, the Knights summoned Austin Adams from the bullpen. Adams got out of the inning without any further damage, but the Padres scored the tying run in the 7th on a Fernando Tatis sacrifice fly. Machado greeted reliever Alex Vesia with a 434 foot bomb to LF to give the Padres a 6-5 lead.
