Padres lose late ninth-inning homer call against Brewers in NLDS

In Game 1 of the NLDS against the Milwaukee Brewers on October 4, the San Diego Padres faced a controversial call in the ninth inning when Ty France's potential go-ahead home run was ruled an out. The ball hit the roof at Milwaukee's stadium, and umpires determined it remained in play, allowing Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio to catch it. Some analysts have suggested this incident highlights a perceived curse on the Padres, as they were left trailing 3-3 without the lead. The Padres previously swept the Chicago Cubs but now need to bounce back in Game 2 of the series scheduled for October 5.
