Diamondbacks Miss Playoffs on Season’s Final Day, Losing 9-4 to Padres After Phillies Clinch
Gavin Sheets homered and Freddy Fermin drove in three runs as San Diego finished 91-71 and Arizona missed the playoffs for the eighth time in nine seasons.
- The San Diego Padres defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-4 on Sunday, while the Philadelphia Phillies clinched the final National League Wild Card spot with a 7-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
- Entering Sunday, Arizona faced a must-win scenario requiring both a Diamondbacks victory and a Philadelphia loss; the Phillies' early 4-0 lead over Tampa Bay effectively eliminated any postseason path for the Diamondbacks.
- Trailing 4-4 in the seventh inning, San Diego scored three runs, including a bases-loaded walk by Jake Cronenworth that pushed home the go-ahead run as Arizona's pitching faltered.
- The Padres finished 91-71 after a 17-3 late-season surge, securing the top Wild Card berth and their club-record fifth consecutive winning season before hosting the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday.
- Catcher Gabriel Moreno won the National League batting title at.311 despite missing Sunday's finale with a hamstring injury, while the Padres marked their fifth straight winning season, a franchise record.
