The Padres swept the Braves in the Wild Card series to reach the NLDS but may have lost starter Joe Musgrove to an injury in the process.
The Padres took out Atlanta in two games but might be without one of their emotional leaders for a whileIt never gets old saying it as bluntly as possible: the Padres beat the Braves 5-4 on Wednesday night to win the National League Wild Card series and advance to the National League Division Series, where they'll get another chance to end the Dodgers season.
After getting the first two outs of the 2nd inning he faced catcher Kyle Higashioka, the man Dylan Cease called on Wednesday afternoon"the best 9-hole hitter in the game." In this Wild Card series Higgy might be the best hitter in the game, PERIOD. Higashioka launched another home run, his 2nd dinger in two games.His 3rd career postseason bomb touched off a 2-out rally for the ages.
The skipper brought in Tanner Scott, one of the filthiest lefties in the game, to face Atlanta slugger Matt Olson. Scott is usually a late-inning specialist but this might have been the biggest moment of the game so in came Scott, who won the duel of the southpaws, getting Olson to line out to left fielder Jurickson Profar to end the threat.
