How did the Padres secure a 5‑4 win in the Blue Jays series finale?

Ben Fadden 0:01
All right. The Padres get an exciting five to four win to head into the All Star break where Mason Miller, who just dominated Vlad Jr. there for that final out, he will head to Philadelphia to represent the Padres in the All Star game on Tuesday. That's if he ends up pitching. If the National League has a lead there in the ninth, I assume he would be the one That would close. That's me not. Looking and the other relievers on the roster. Um sorry, I have something Playing right now. That's a little distracting. Um anyway, that was in the background on LB dot com, sorry. But yeah, tonight, a uh today, a five to four win the Padres enter the break forty eight and forty eight. Literally a five hundred team. Um, I don't wanna talk about the division because we know that's already over.
Ben Fadden 0:56
But the wild card The Padres have four teams that they have to leapfrog to get into a playoff spot as we speak. The Marlins are the third wild card spot at fifty two and forty five. Cardinals are fifty and forty-five. The Pirates are fifty and forty-seven. The D-backs are forty-eight and forty-seven. They were just playing the Dodgers. And then the Padres are there at 48 and 48. The Nats, 48 and 49. They're right there. Um so I mean you yeah, it's it's really one, two, three, four, five, six teams right there for that final spot here on July twelfth. A lot of things can change. Uh I don't really believe that the Marlins are gonna make the playoffs. I don't believe the pirates are gonna make the playoffs, but
Ben Fadden 1:42
I guess crazier things have happened, right? Um The big key. Is can Manny Machado please continue to play like this? Can he continue to hit like this? And yes, did he get great pitches to hit that last at bat where he had the The go ahead or excuse me, it wasn't the go ahead, but it was The huge hit. Um that set it up where He doubles there. Um, and then he gets pinch run for Jace Bowen comes into the game in the eighth inning. Bottom of the eighth. And Initially when I saw that happen, sorry, Manny singled. Uh, because Bogart single before. When Manny's singled there and then you see the pinch runner come in. I had the initial reaction, like the split second, like Potteries aren't gonna score here. Taking Manny out, that might be a b uh a decision that might
Ben Fadden 2:47
be something that Craig ends up regretting. But They ended up executing. That was beautiful baseball right there. Manning with the single. So now it's a tie game. Four four. Sheets grounds hits um has the grounder, Manny to second base. Once Manny gets the second base, that's when Stamma decided to Bring in J Spoon as the pinch runner. And they're bringing up they're they're showing that That late rally there, um, off of Hoffman there in the eighth inning. Bogart singles, steel second base. Manny comes up, single up the middle, shoots it up the middle, a long at bat. It was like an eight nine pitch at bat. Bogey scores. Sheets grounder, Bowen pinch runs at second base. What a jump he got taking third base there.
Ben Fadden 3:38
There was no throw. No attempt at all. And then Hoffman leaves one over the middle of the plate. Ty France, way deep enough. Warning track, fly ball, Bowen scores, and the Pottery side of the lead. And then you can hand it over to Mason Miller. Like that is just beautiful baseball right there. That is That's tremendous. Um If the potteries can do that consistently. in the unofficial second half of the season, they're gonna be in a good spot.

What does the current wild‑card picture look like for the Padres?

Ben Fadden 4:04
They're gonna be a playoff team because the bullpen is still an area of strength. The rotation. I think that they're gonna get reinforcements here. Either in The month of July or early August, 'cause the deadline is in early August this year, not in late July. Uh But executing. That's been a problem for this team. That's a big reason why they are five hundred. Is because they haven't come through enough with runners in scoring position. Or they run themselves into outs. Um Pod race one yesterday, but Manny, what are you doing? Where he gets thrown out. Um I guess trying to run to second base. There was a runner on third, so he was you know, after that he could say, Oh, he was trying to get caught in a run down and
