The San Diego Padres beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 on Wednesday night as Manny Machado homers and drives in three runs. The result snaps the Dodgers’ 11-game home winning streak.
With the loss, the Dodgers remain short of clinching at least the No. 2 seed in the National League and a first-round playoff bye. The Padres move into sole possession of the top spot in the NL wild-card standings.
Both outlets describe the same key game outcome and its implications for the NL standings. The Yahoo Sports account also adds that the Padres do not clinch their franchise-record third straight playoff berth in the same moment because Arizona beats Colorado 5-3.
