Story summary

The San Diego Padres faced elimination in Game 3 of their National League Division Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, trailing 2-0 after losses in Milwaukee. Despite this dire situation, they managed a 4-3 victory at home on Tuesday night, thanks to Jake Cronenworth's tiebreaking homer and Michael King's strong relief pitching. The Padres' bullpen struggled without their All-Star closer Mason Miller but held off the Brewers to cut the series deficit to 2-1. Game 4 is set for Wednesday, with a potential decisive fifth game in Milwaukee on Friday if needed. This win marks the Brewers longest postseason road losing streak, tying an MLB record of 12 straight games dating back to 2018.
