San Diego Padres On the Brink of Eliminating Los Angeles Dodgers, Despite Finishing 22 Games Behind Them In the Standings
The San Diego Padres’ winning streak continued on Friday as they triumphed 2-1 in Game 3. The victory puts the Padres one win away from defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers and making their first appearance in the National League Championship Series since 1998.
The Dodgers, who set a team milestone by winning 111 games during the regular season, are now one victory away from being eliminated by the Padres. It was the year 1998. It was the final time San Diegans saw the Padres triumph at home in a postseason game.
The Los Angeles Dodgers were defeated 2-1 by the San Diego Padres on Friday night at Petco Park in front of a boisterous sellout crowd. One of the biggest playoff upsets in baseball history is on the verge of happening because of them.
San Diego Padres are in a strong position to eliminate Los Angeles Dodgers
The best-of-five National League Division Series between the San Diego Padres and Chicago Cubs is only one win away from being won by the Padres, which might spark the biggest celebration in this city since Steve Garvey’s game-winning home run in Game 4 of the 1984 NLCS against the Chicago Cubs.

The obviously helpless and pitiful Dodgers lost 2-1 to the revitalized San Diego Padres on Friday at a jubilant Petco Park, falling behind two games to one in the best-of-five National League Division Series. They are doomed if they lose Game 4 on Saturday night here.
They will be eliminated if they triumph on Saturday but lose the decisive Game 5 on Sunday at Dodger Stadium. They are one game away from the most unlikely of eliminations, whichever way.
