PHILADELPHIA — The San Diego Padres took advantage of what the Philadelphia Phillies handed them but managed nothing else in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series.
A 4-2 loss Friday night left them down two games to one with two more to play at Citizens Bank Park. They need at least one win in the next two days to get the series back to San Diego for a Game 6 on Monday.
The Padres had the tying run on first base in the sixth and at the plate in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, but they went hitless in seven at-bats with runners in scoring position.
