Padres grab vital Game 3 win against Brewers in NLDS

The San Diego Padres secured a crucial 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of the National League Division Series on October 6, 2026. Facing elimination after two close losses, the Padres responded with a strong showing from both their offense and bullpen. Michael King stepped up as the makeshift closer in the absence of Mason Miller and Adrian Morejon, achieving a six-out save. Manager Craig Stammen is expected to start Walker Buehler in the must-win Game 4, after Buehler returned from personal leave and was activated back to the roster on October 5.
