Overview

  • Ryan O'Hearn launched a first-inning grand slam, Luis Arraez added a two-run shot off the foul pole, and Jose Iglesias homered as the Padres routed Milwaukee 7-0.
  • Randy Vásquez delivered seven dominant innings with one hit allowed before two relievers completed a four-hitter at Petco Park.
  • The victory was San Diego's fourth straight, pulling the Padres within 1½ games of the Cubs for the top NL wild card and keeping the NL West race mathematically alive.
  • Fernando Tatis Jr. missed a second straight game with nausea, fever and chills, manager Mike Shildt said, after the team clinched a postseason berth the previous night on Freddy Fermin’s 11th-inning walk-off.
  • Milwaukee, which has already secured the NL Central, designated left-hander Bruce Zimmermann for assignment after his spot start and recalled right-hander Carlos Rodriguez as pitching injuries prompted further roster moves.
