Michael King allowed one hit over five shutout innings en route to his third straight victory and Mason Miller struck out two during a perfect ninth to pick up his eighth save as the San Diego Padres edged the Los Angeles Angels, 2-1, in the rubber game of their three-game series on Sunday afternoon in Anaheim, Calif.

King (3-1) walked four, hit a batter and struck out six before departing after throwing 105 pitches, 63 for strikes.

Miller extended his scoreless inning streak that dates back to Aug. 6, 2025, to 32 2/3 innings, one inning short of the San Diego record set by Cla Meredith in 2006. The right-hander touched 102.9 mph with one of his fastballs but got back-to-back strikeouts of Vaughn Grissom and Logan O'Hoppe with his slider to end the game.

Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and a run, and Bryce Johnson doubled among two hits and an RBI for San Diego, which won its fifth straight series while improving to 13-2 over its last 15 games.

Walbert Urena (0-2) took the loss in his first major league start, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over six-plus innings while striking out eight.

San Diego took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning when Fernando Tatis Jr. led off with a single, stole second and scored on a two-out ground single to center by Bogaerts.

The Padres extended the lead to 2-0 in the seventh. Urena started the inning with back-to-back walks to Bogaerts and Gavin Sheets. Sam Bachman relieved and got Miguel Andujar to pop out and then struck out pinch hitter Jake Cronenworth before Johnson lined a single to left, driving in Bogaerts.

Los Angeles cut the lead to 2-1 in bottom of the seventh against reliever Kyle Hart. Oswald Peraza led off with a double and Travis d'Arnaud was hit by a pitch. After Adam Frazier sacrificed the runners to second and third, right-hander Bradgley Rodriguez entered in relief and Zach Neto drove in Peraza was a groundout to short.
