Padres clinch postseason birth for 1st time since 2006 in 7-4 win over Mariners

The Padres and Mariners went into extra innings, but a breakthrough 11th inning for the Friars’ bats elevated San Diego over Seattle in a 7-4 win at Petco Park that secured the team’s first playoff birth since 2006.

Mitch Moreland sparked the three-run rally a RBI double. Another RBI single from Jurickson Profar pushed the score to 6-4 and a throwing error by Seattle allowed Austin Nola to score the game’s final run.

Dinelson Lamet worked six innings and finished with 10 strikeouts.
