Manny Machado's two-run double highlighted a six-run fifth inning Thursday afternoon for the host San Diego Padres, who overcame an early deficit to beat the San Francisco Giants 8-4 in the finale of a four-game series between the National League West rivals.

Rafael Devers and Willy Adames hit back-to-back homers in the sixth for the Giants, who fell to 9-22 since the All-Star Break. Andrew Knizner (RBI double) and Heliot Ramos (run-scoring double play) staked San Francisco to a first-inning lead.
