The Padres won against the Yankees 4-3 on September 6. Gerrit Cole allowed three home runs in the first inning. It was the second time in his career he yielded three homers in the opening frame.

On September 8, the Padres played the Washington Nationals. Carlos Rodriguez reached base with a single to center field. That brought in Will Wagner. Miguel Andujar reached third base. The Yankees made several roster changes. A report said Jazz Chisholm Jr. may be traded to the Padres or the Texas Rangers.
