The win by the NL West champion Dodgers kept the Padres' magic number at four for clinching a playoff spot in a full season for the first time since 2006.
SAN DIEGO — Freddie Freeman helped the Atlanta Braves win the World Series last year and on Wednesday night he helped the Los Angeles Dodgers set the franchise season record with their 107th victory.
“If you think about it, it's the pitching,” Freeman said on a night when Julio Urías, one of the leading contenders for the NL Cy Young award, pitched six scoreless innings. “Our pitching has been absolutely phenomenal all season long. They give us a chance. We haven't done really well with runners in scoring position in the last couple of days and they put up zeroes all day until we got one in.
“I was going for a hit when Mookie was on second, trying to get the slider up,” Freeman said. “Usually I go to left field, but with the slider coming in I was trying to hit it just right of second base. That was the plan. I didn't know if it was going to work. Once the ball got away and he got to third, all I was trying to do was hit a fly ball to center field. I hit it in the air and I hit it to center field. It just didn't go very far but it went far enough.
