Overview

• Freddy Fermin’s one-out single in the 11th delivered a 5-4 win at Petco Park to secure San Diego’s postseason berth.
• The victory pulled the Padres within 2½ games of the Dodgers for the NL West lead and the Cubs for the top NL wild-card slot.
• The Brewers have the division locked up and remain in the hunt for MLB’s best record to gain home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
• Freddy Peralta reached 200 strikeouts for a third straight season, finishing with six Ks and leaving with a 3-2 lead.
• With Brandon Woodruff and José Quintana out and Jacob Misiorowski not starting in the NLDS, Pat Murphy is prioritizing health as Peralta lines up as the likely Game 1 starter.
