The Padres have kicked off an important homestand with two big, signature wins.

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the Padres wild comeback win, topped off by Manny Machado's game-winning, walk-off single in the 10th inning. The two discuss if Manny's swag is returning, after he's delivered in three of their most recent wins. Fernando Tatis says the Padres go as Manny goes, and so far it's taken them to a series win over the Braves.

Marty and Darren break down the pregame news of Lucas Giolito being placed on the injured list with elbow inflammation, and react to Craig Stammen saying that Nick Pivetta and Joe Musgrove, who threw long toss before the game on Tuesday, are a long ways away.

What pitchers should be on AJ Preller's radar as the trade deadline nears? Darren goes through a list of possible names that could make sense, as the Padres need two, if not three arms, to fortify this already shaky rotation.

The show looks ahead to how the Padres have shuffled their rotation in advance of the Dodgers series, and why it could be a long Wednesday for the recently recalled J.P. Sears.

Marty and Darren also hear from Manny Machado on what's been the difference in Tatis, and if the leadoff role and playing second base has given him an extra boost.
