The Padres tapped into the power of the Rally Goose in the 7th!
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 game was delayed 31 minutes at the start by rain, which returned in the eighth inning and prompted a short delay while the grounds crew worked on the mound. With two outs and the crowd on it feet, Cronenworth singled to center off local product Alex Vesia to give the Padres the lead, punching the air with his right fist and hollering as he pulled into second base on the throw home. Soto, acquired from Washington in a blockbuster trade on Aug. 2, slid home headfirst and jumped up and cheered.
