Deadspin | Padres seek sweep of Twins after another comeback win

The San Diego Padres moved closer to a series sweep by beating the visiting Minnesota Twins 7-5 on Saturday, erasing a 5-1 deficit to secure their 36th win after trailing at any point—fourth-most in MLB. The comeback surge keeps them two games ahead of Arizona for the National League’s final wild-card spot, while they remain two games behind Philadelphia for the second spot. Jake Cronenworth sparked the rally with a double to start the sixth and an additional two-run double in the seventh, later scoring on Minnesota’s second error. Fernando Tatis Jr. added a single and run in the seventh and an RBI single in the eighth. Sunday’s finale features Walker Buehler (7-6, 4.79 ERA) against Bailey Ober (7-4, 4.62).
