Blake Snell lowers National League-best ERA, with six scoreless innings; Loss to Giants means Padres fall behind in battle for third place in the NL West
The Giants scored twice in the eighth inning against Robert Suarez and beat the Padres 2-1 in the opening round of the battle for third place Monday night at Oracle Park.
More significantly, the inevitable finally happened, as the Padres were eliminated from postseason contention.The Cubs and Diamondbacks have 82 wins, which is the maximum the losing team Wednesday could achieve. And the Cubs and Diamondbacks hold the tiebreaker over both the Padres and Giants based on having won the teams’ season series.
The Giants sat in the NL’s final playoff position as late as Sept. 14 but entered Monday having lost eighth of their past 10. That is practically the opposite of the Padres, who were last in playoff position on May 11 and came into Monday having won nine of 10.probably locked down the National League Cy Young award by working six scoreless innings for a third straight game and lowering his MLB-best ERA to 2.25.
