Manny Machado drove in three runs with a home run and Fernando Tatis Jr. added three hits as the San Diego Padres defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 on Wednesday. The road victory reduced San Diego's magic number for securing a National League wild-card berth to one, moving them one game ahead of the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies in the standings.

Elsewhere, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Phillies 4-1 behind homers from Brice Turang and Christian Yelich, putting Milwaukee one win away from a 100-win season. Meanwhile, the Miami Marlins beat the Cubs 3-2, and the Arizona Diamondbacks topped the Colorado Rockies 5-3 to stay in wild-card contention.
