Machado powers the Padres past the Dodgers 5-1, snapping Los Angeles’ 11-game home winning streak
Manny Machado contributed significantly to the San Diego Padres' 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night. The Padres claimed the top spot in the National League wild-card standings, ending the Dodgers' 11-game home winning streak. Machado hit a home run and drove in three runs, showcasing his impressive performance even after returning from the injured list.
The loss prevented the Dodgers from clinching either the second seed in the National League or a first-round playoff bye, as they would need at least one more win or an Atlanta loss. The Padres, however, secured their third consecutive playoff berth but still need one win or a Diamondbacks loss to finalize their postseason spot.
