LOS ANGELES (AP) — Manny Machado and the San Diego Padres wrote their own Hollywood ending on the home field of their biggest rivals Tuesday night.
San Diego stunned the Los Angeles Dodgers with a game-ending triple play to preserve a 4-2 victory over the NL West leaders that clinched a playoff spot for the Padres.
“We won it! We won it!” yelled Fernando Tatis Jr.
The party was on in the Padres' darkened clubhouse, with music pumping and lights flashing as players drenched each other in alcohol.
