The day after the Los Angeles Dodgers punched their ticket to the NLDS, their fiercest division rivals saw their season come to a painful end.
The San Diego Padres, who had been nipping at the Dodgers' heels for the top spot in the NL West down the stretch, fell to the Chicago Cubs in Game 3 of the NL Wild Card Series on Thursday. The Padres have now lost a winner-take-all game on the road two years in a row after falling to the Dodgers in Game 5 of the NLDS in 2024.
With tensions at a boiling point after Thursday's game, Jake Garegnani of CBS San Diego caught the wrath of Manny Machado when he asked the Padres' star infielder how he would assess the 2025 season as a whole.
