Padres force Game 4 with late-inning heroics

The San Diego Padres clawed back into their postseason series with the Milwaukee Brewers after dropping the first two games, securing a 3–2 victory in Game 3 at Petco Park. Jake Cronenworth delivered a game-changing solo home run in the fifth inning to break a 2–2 tie, and an error by the Brewers later in the frame sealed the win.

The Padres’ resilience contrasts sharply with their early struggles, where two unlucky plays cost them the first two contests. With the series now tied 2–2, the Friars will look to force a Game 5 in Milwaukee tonight, where Robert Gasser (2.87 ERA over his last 36 innings) takes the mound against Walker Buehler, who has a 3.04 postseason ERA and dominated the Brewers in his lone start this year.

San Diego’s offense, which has been outhit by Milwaukee in this series, must capitalize on more opportunities to extend their lead in the best-of-five showdown.
