The San Diego Padres secured their third consecutive postseason berth by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2. Key contributions came from Fernando Tatis Jr. and Ethan Salas, who each had RBI singles in a pivotal seventh inning. Despite a late push from the Dodgers, including Shohei Ohtani’s RBI double, Padres closer Mason Miller earned his 38th save. Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow struck out 11 and held a no-hitter into the sixth inning before the Padres broke through. The Dodgers, already assured a bye and home-field advantage in the playoffs, will begin their postseason on October 3. Meanwhile, the Padres are preparing for their next series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
