Quick Summary

The San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers engaged in a series of playful but tense exchanges during their NLDS games, with each team playing loud, disruptive music while the other practiced or played batting practice. The Padres retaliated by blasting elevator music at the Brewers during Monday's practice after Milwaukee played monotonous music when the Padres were practicing on Saturday. Despite these distractions, the Padres lost two crucial games to the Brewers in heart-wrenching fashion, including a controversial ninth-inning call in Game 1 and a critical eighth-inning performance from their closer Mason Miller in Game 2.

Story summary

The San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers are engaging in playful rivalry during their NLDS series. On Monday, while the Brewers practiced at Petco Park, elevator music blasted through the speakers, mimicking an earlier incident where the Padres had a similar experience with "monotonous" music blaring from American Family Field when they were practicing. The Padres tried to counteract the distracting noise by playing their own music but it did not prevent them from losing both games in heartbreaking fashion. On Saturday, San Diego lost after blowing a 2-2 lead due to Wilson Contreras' solo home run and Ty France's would-be go-ahead homer bouncing off the roof. The next day, despite having a 3-2 advantage entering the eighth inning, the Padres saw closer Mason Miller surrender two runs in the ninth on a single by Jackson Chourio, leading them to fall behind 2-0 in the series.
