The San Diego Padres found themselves with an opportunity to clinch a postseason spot on Tuesday night. And what could be sweeter than paying off six months' worth of regular-season grind than beating those rival Los Angeles Dodgers in their own building? Completing the task thanks to a game-ending triple play.
The unbelievable moment was set up when the Dodgers, trailing 4-2 in the ninth inning, put runners on first and second right out of the gate against closer Robert Suarez. With Shohei Ohtani looming over on the on-deck circle, LA's Miguel Rojas hit a ball on the ground to third base that brought Manny Machado over to the bag, sparking the 5-4-3 walkoff.
