Sport 1 to San Diego. Michael King shoved. Fernando Tatis Jr. and Kyle Higashioka homered and had two RBIs apiece. The Padres push a beleaguered Braves crew to the brink. All six prior groups to win Sport 1 of a Wild Card Sequence at dwelling have swept in 2.
The Padres at the moment are only one win away from advancing to the divisional sequence, the place they’d face the Los Angeles Dodgers. They’re going to have Joe Musgrove on the mound whereas Atlanta will look to Max Fried to maintain its season alive.
