Manny Machado homered and Ryan Bergert combined with five relievers on a four-hitter as the San Diego Padres edged the Milwaukee Brewers 1-0 on Sunday.
The victory enabled the Padres to win the series in Milwaukee before they return home to face the reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers for the first time this season.
Machado greeted Rob Zastryzny (1-1) by connecting on a 3-2 pitch and delivering a 425-foot drive over the wall in left-center field for his third homer in his last four games.
It was the first run Zastryzny has allowed in 10 appearances this year.
Yuki Matsui (1-1) earned the win after pitching two-thirds of an inning in relief of Ryan Bergert, who worked 5 1/3 innings in his second career start.
Robert Suarez allowed a two-out single to Joey Ortiz before retiring Brice Turang on a pop to short to earn his MLB-leading 21st save in 23 opportunities.
Milwaukee left 10 men on base over the last five innings.
Neither team got a hit through the first 4½ innings as Milwaukee’s Freddy Peralta and Bergert were both outstanding. Milwaukee’s first hit was a one-out single by Rhys Hoskins in the fifth. The Padres broke through on Tyler Wade’s leadoff single in the sixth.
The Brewers begin a three-game home series with Atlanta. Right-hander Aaron Civale (1-1, 5.19) pitches for the Brewers on Monday, while the Braves start left-hander Chris Sale (3-4, 2.93). First pitch is at 6:40.
Elsewhere Sunday in the NL Central, the Tigers shutout the Cubs 4-0, the Pirates nipped the Phillies 2-1, the Reds downed the Diamondbacks 4-2 and the Dodgers beat the Cardinals 7-3. The Cubs lead the Cardinals by four games, the Brewers by 5 ½ the Reds by 7 ½ and the Pirates are 14 ½ back.
In the Midwest League on Sunday the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers edged the Quad Cities River Bandits 7-6. There are no games scheduled Monday.
In the Northwood’s League Sunday the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders lost on the road to the Chinooks 8-6. The Dock Spiders are home tonight against the Wausau Woodchucks, with the first pitch at 6:35 p.m.
The Packers reportedly are releasing veteran cornerback Jaire Alexander on Monday.
This from NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
Alexander suffered a knee injury in the Nov. 3 loss to the Detroit Lions and was only in the next game for 10 plays the following week.
A knee injury during a loss to the Minnesota Vikings knocked him out for the rest of the season. He underwent arthroscopic surgery for pain and swelling and might have returned if the Packers post-season extended to the Super Bowl.
In 2022, the Packers signed Alexander to a four-year, $84 million extension that included a record $30 million signing bonus for a defensive back and made him the highest-paid cornerback in the league.
Ryan Fox won on the fourth playoff hole Sunday to win the RBC Canadian Open over Sam Burns. Fox birdied the 72nd hole to force a playoff with Burns, who earlier posted 18 under par. After both men parred the par-5 18th three times in OT, Fox hit the green in two on their fourth extra hole and made birdie to win his second PGA Tour event of the season (Myrtle Beach Classic).
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 34 points, Alex Caruso added 20 off the bench and the Thunder beat the Indiana Pacers 123-107 on Sunday night to tie these finals at one game apiece.
Jalen Williams scored 19, Aaron Wiggins had 18 and Chet Holmgren finished with 15 for the Thunder. It was the franchise’s first finals game win since the opener of the 2012 series against Miami.
Tyrese Haliburton scored 17 for Indiana, which erased a 15-point, fourth-quarter deficit in Game 1 but never made a push on Sunday. Myles Turner scored 16 and Pascal Siakam added 15 for the Pacers, the first team since Miami in 2013 to not have a 20-point scorer in the first two games of the finals.
Game 3 is Wednesday at Indianapolis, in what will be the first finals game in that city in 25 years.
