SAN DIEGO (AP) — Struggling Juan Soto homered and Nick Martinez pitched seven strong innings as the San Diego Padres beat NL East-leading Atlanta 1-0 Wednesday to snap the Braves’ winning streak at eight.The Braves, who had the longest active winning streak in the majors, were shut out for the first time this season.The Padres won for just the second time in eight games and will welcome back superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. on Thursday in the opening game of a four-game series at Arizona.

San Diego’s superstar-laden roster had scored just one run in its previous three games, all loses, and hadn’t had a lead since Saturday night...
