This is the team the San Diego Padres envisioned having when they acquired Juan Soto, Josh Bell and Drury at last week's trade deadline.

Yes, there was a five-game losing streak, including losing three games at the rival Los Angeles Dodgers last weekend and a flummoxing 26-inning scoreless streak. But when they broke out of the slump, the Padres did it impressively, scoring 20 runs in consecutive wins against the San Francisco Giants.

Brandon Drury hit a go-ahead, three-run home run in the sixth and Austin Nola’s two-run homer capped a seven-run rally — all with two outs — that carried the Padres to a wild 13-7 win against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.

The Padres fell behind 4-0, surged ahead 6-4 after Manny Machado’s two-run double ignited a six-run rally in the third and then fell behind 7-6 in the sixth. But the Padres came through with another big rally in the bottom of the sixth, the second time they batted around in the game.

Drury said the outburst shows "The team that we are. I know that this is the lineup that’s capable of doing that, putting up seven-spot innings. It’s a crazy game. There’s going to be times where pitching’s good and we’re unlucky at the plate. That’s just part of the game."

To rally twice "says a lot about this club," said Drury, who was acquired from Cincinnati. "The guys we have are so special that I don’t think anything's going to surprise me
