Jake Cronenworth hit a tiebreaking, two-run single, and the Padres beat the Dodgers 5-3 Saturday night to reach the NLCS for first time since 1998.
SAN DIEGO — Jake Cronenworth hit a tiebreaking, two-run single with two outs in the seventh inning and the San Diego Padres rallied past the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-3 Saturday night to advance to the NL Championship Series for the first time since 1998.
The Padres last reached the NLCS 24 years ago when they beat the Atlanta Braves in six games and were then swept by the New York Yankees in the World Series. A handful of players from that team watched from a luxury suite, including Hall of Fame closer Trevor Hoffman and center fielder Steve Finley. Jurickson Profar drew a leadoff walk against Tommy Kahnle, took third on Trent Grisham’s single to right and scored when Austin Nola’s infield single glanced off the glove of first baseman Freddie Freeman. Yency Almonte, who took the loss, came on and and was greeted by Kim Ha-seong’s RBI double down the left field line, followed by Juan Soto’s tying single to right.
