September 26, 2025
Fernando Tatís Jr. hit a grand slam in the fourth inning, and the San Diego Padres eliminated the Arizona Diamondbacks from playoff contention with a 7-4 victory. Luis Arraez extended his hitting streak to 14 games with his 22nd career four-hit game for the postseason-bound Padres, who also prevented the Chicago Cubs from clinching homefield advantage in the clubs’ opening-round playoff series. Ketel Marte and Jake McCarthy hit early homers for the Diamondbacks, who lost their third straight and fell two games behind the Mets and Reds for the final NL wild card berth with two games to play.
