Ladies and gentlemen, if you weren’t at PETCO Park today, you missed one of the wildest playoff games you’ll ever see! I mean, we’re talking fireworks, chaos, pure baseball insanity. San Diego was down 3-2 going into the bottom of the ninth. Miami had scored four in the top half to take a 6-3 lead—and you thought the Padres were cooked. Nope. Not today. Not this team.
The Padres stormed back, scoring four runs in the bottom of the ninth to walk it off, 7-6. Jose Valadez, my friends, came through with the clutch single, and just like that, San Diego steals Game 1 in the Wild Card Series. Unreal. Absolutely unreal.
Shamar Beeman pitched a gem, 7 innings of 5-hit ball, setting the table for that dramatic finish. Miami’s bullpen, led by I. Canal, just couldn’t close the door, and San Diego smelled blood. They went after it and delivered.
This one’s a classic: Padres 7, Marlins 6, and the series is now 1-0 for San Diego. Attendance? 34,073 lucky fans witnessed history today. The next game tomorrow? You better believe it’s going to be another thriller.
Folks, if this is how the Wild Card Series starts, buckle up. This postseason is off to a blazing start.
