Padres seek sweep of Twins after another comeback win

The San Diego Padres moved closer to a series sweep of the Minnesota Twins after a 7-5 win on Saturday that featured another late comeback. San Diego erased a 5-1 deficit and earned its 36th victory in MLB after trailing at any point, the fourth-most mark in the majors. The result puts the Padres in position to sweep on Sunday and moved 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 wild-card. Jake Cronenworth drove the offense with extra-base hits and helped start the sixth-inning rally, while Fernando Tatis Jr. also fueled the comeback. Walker Buehler starts the finale against Bailey Ober.
