Padres Snag Playoff Berth with Extra-Innings Walk-Off Win vs. Brewers

The San Diego Padres clinched a playoff spot on Monday night with a 5-4, 11-inning walk-off win over the Milwaukee Brewers at Petco Park.
The Padres' strong performance followed a major trade deadline overhaul on July 31, when GM A.J. Preller acquired Mason Miller, Freddy Fermin, Ryan O'Hearn, and Ramon Laureano.
A late July addition from Kansas City, Freddy Fermin, delivered the game-winning RBI single in the 11th inning by bringing home automatic runner Bryce Johnson in front of a packed crowd of 42,371 fans.
With this win, the Padres narrowed their deficit to 2½ games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers, who did not play, in the NL West standings and fell 2½ games short of the Chicago Cubs, who also remained idle, for the top wild-card position in the National League.
This marks the Padres’ fourth postseason berth in six years and only their second consecutive October with meaningful games, with a potential best-of-three wild-card series against the Cubs beginning September 30 at Wrigley Field if standings hold.
