Padres beat Brewers 4-3 in Game 3 of the NLDS
Jake Cronenworth hit a go-ahead homer and San Diego held on as the bullpen covered 4.1 innings from Nick Pivetta.
On Tuesday, the San Diego Padres defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in Game 3 of the National League Division Series at Petco Park, trimming the series deficit to 2-1 and avoiding elimination.
Jake Cronenworth hit a tiebreaking solo home run in the 5th inning, while pitcher Michael King secured the final two innings to preserve the victory without closer Mason Miller, who went on the paternity list.
Xander Bogaerts turned a game-ending double play in the 9th to thwart a rally by Christian Yelich, handing the Brewers their 12th consecutive postseason road loss dating to the 2018 National League Championship Series.
Although Milwaukee still leads the best-of-five series 2-1, San Diego will host Game 4 at Petco Park on Wednesday night, needing another victory to force a decisive fifth game.
The 12-team playoff field is now down to eight teams as the National League Division Series continues, with the Padres fighting for survival in a compressed postseason bracket.
