Jake Cronenworth singled home the winning run with one out in the 10th inning, and the Padres beat Los Angeles 5-4 on Friday to keep the Dodgers' magic number at six for clinching the NL West.
SAN DIEGO — A long, wet night ended with Jake Cronenworth and the San Diego Padres earning a rare win against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
“When you’re in those games and it’s back and forth and it’s close, hopefully that’s a good sign for when we’re hopefully in the place we want to be; we’ve been there and we can look back on these games and see how we won,” he added.Juan Soto started out as the automatic runner on second base in the 10th and the Dodgers intentionally walked Manny Machado. One out later, Cronenworth singled to right field off Heath Hembree to bring in Soto and raised his arms at first base.
Adrian Morejon pitched a perfect 10th for the win, retiring Mookie Betts, Trea Turner and Freddie Freeman with automatic runner Cody Bellinger on second. Trayce Thompson and Freeman homered for the Dodgers, who can clinch a playoff spot Saturday for the 10th straight season. San Diego tied it at 4 in the fifth when Soto drew a one-out walk and scored when Betts booted Machado's single to right field for a two-base error. Dodgers pitcher Dustin May committed an error on Josh Bell's grounder, putting runners on first and third, but retired the next two batters to end the threat.
