00:00Arizona still 14 and 5 since the all-star break but their
00:07divisional mates out of the National League West even better than that. The
00:11Padres now have won five straight games. They pull off the sweep in Pittsburgh
00:16during the midweek. 7-6 the victory. A very slight Moneyline
00:20underdog inside PNC Park. Total of eight and a half does go over. The Padres down
00:266-5 in the ninth inning. Kyle Higashioka at the disc for San Diego.
00:30Puts the ball in play. A couple of errors leads to two runs and San Diego picks up
00:36a 7-6 victory. DRS the Padres have won 14 of their last 16 games. 14 and 3
00:44since the all-star break. San Diego is rolling right now. And comfortably now in
00:51the lead there for the wildcard position and maybe now challenging the Los
00:54Angeles Dodgers if they can win that division. Fresh off the heels of the
00:57Arizona down the backs. The Giants playing much better baseball as well
01:01winning 7 out of their last 10 games. But you take away from this game is the
01:05Padres are really good we get that. We've had a nice summer so far from the
01:08Pittsburgh Pirates but is that fun streak starting to end? Just a few days
01:13ago it feels like they were right in the thick of things for that final
01:16wildcard spot within a game. They now sit four and a half games back at that final
01:21wildcard spot which means you got to jump to Giants, the Cardinals, the Braves
01:25and the Mets to get back into the mix to make the playoffs here. Let's see if they
01:29can rebound because that was a tough series. We've had multiple chances to win
01:33a couple of those games against the Pads. Not able to get it done.
