Marlins victory over Pirates officially ends Padres' playoff chances; Padres still win for 12th time in their past 14 games
There may still be chaos as the final National League postseason spots are determined this weekend. Any craziness just won’t involve the Padres.
That would not diminish their sense of disappointment at a season that has fallen far below the expectations of a club that went to the National League Championship Series a year ago and began this season with MLB’s third-highest payroll. But it would be a remarkable final twist for the Padres, who were a season-worst 11 games below .500 on Aug. 31.
Matthew Batten led off the inning and struck out swinging at a slider from Cease that bounced past catcher Korey Lee. As Lee got caught up with umpire Marvin Hudson and the ball bounced off the back wall and toward the White Sox dugout, Batten advanced to second base. He took third on a wild pitch while Trent Grisham batted, and after Grisham walked, Batten ran home on Xander Bogaerts’ sacrifice fly to right field.
