Milwaukee Brewers at San Diego Padres: Final Score & Recap

The San Diego Padres routed the Milwaukee Brewers 11-2 at Petco Park on August 11, 2026, in a game that was effectively decided before the third inning concluded. The DiamondIQ model entered the contest with San Diego holding a 45 percent win probability, but that figure climbed toward certainty almost immediately, finishing the night at 100 percent.

The decisive sequence arrived in the bottom of the second inning, when San Diego sent the game beyond reach with a five-run frame against Brewers starter Kyle Harrison. Luis Rengifo delivered the pivotal blow, a home run that shifted win probability by 19.6 percentage points and stood as the single most impactful play of the evening by a considerable margin. Jake Cronenworth had opened the inning's damage with a double worth 7.2 percentage points, and Ty France's groundout, which drove in a run, added another 11.0 points to San Diego's advantage as the Padres continued to pile on. Fernando Tatis Jr. extended the lead further with a home run in the bottom of the fourth off Harrison, a swing worth 3.9 percentage points. Milwaukee's most consequential moment came in the top of the third, when Jihwan Bae reached on a hit by pitch against Walker Buehler, a play the DiamondIQ model valued at 4.0 percentage points, though it ultimately amounted to little in the final accounting.

Walker Buehler was the standout performer on the pitching side, finishing with a WPA of plus-11.7, anchoring a San Diego staff that allowed just two runs across nine innings while committing zero errors behind a dominant effort. Rengifo led all position players with a WPA of plus-19.0 and an RE24 of plus-3.2, while France posted plus-11.6 WPA and Cronenworth added plus-5.9. Milwaukee finished with seven hits and three errors against seventeen hits and a clean defensive performance from San Diego, a disparity that reflected how thoroughly the Padres controlled the contest from start to finish.
