Manny Machado belted a two-run homer in the fifth inning, helping the visiting San Diego Padres square their National League wild-card series against the Chicago Cubs at one win apiece following a 3-0 victory on Wednesday. The winner of that contest will play the top-seeded Milwaukee Brewers in the best-of-five NL Division Series. Luis Arraez added two of the seven hits for the Padres, who rebounded from a 3-1 setback in the series opener on Tuesday. Mason Miller followed up striking out the side in the series opener by fanning the first five batters he faced on Wednesday. Shota Imanaga relieved Kittredge to start the second inning and coasted into the fifth before issuing a seven-pitch walk to Tatis.
