Readers following September baseball on Sports will see the Padres-Dodgers result as a distinct chapter from other late-season clinch and near-clinch nights already on the desk. This report stays on Machado’s three-RBI night, the snapped Dodgers home streak, and San Diego’s magic number of one atop a crowded NL wild-card board.

Nick Pivetta (3-2, 3.30 ERA) is lined up for San Diego in Thursday’s series finale against Tyler Glasnow (5-1, 3.46), ABC News reported. With four games left for the Padres and every wild-card contender still within reach of October, one more San Diego win—or one Arizona loss—would punch the ticket that Wednesday night only made inevitable on paper.
