Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The San Diego Padres avoided a sweep by defeating the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in Game 3 of the NLDS, keeping their postseason hopes alive with Game 4 scheduled for Wednesday.
- Padres' starting pitcher Nick Pivetta struggled, lasting only 4 1/3 innings while allowing two runs, and the bullpen was missing key arms due to Mason Miller's paternity leave and Adrian Morejon's unavailability.
- Key offensive contributions came from Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, and Jake Cronenworth, who hit a crucial solo home run to break a tie in the fifth inning.
- The Padres' bullpen, including Jason Adam, Yuki Matsui, Bradgley Rodriguez, and closer Michael King, managed to hold the Brewers' offense despite high-pressure situations.
- The Brewers extended their MLB postseason record with their 12th consecutive road loss, now standing at 6-24 all-time in postseason road games.
