Machado's HR sets tone as Padres move one step closer to postseason berth

The San Diego Padres defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, moving one step closer to clinching a postseason berth for the third consecutive season. Manny Machado hit a two-run homer to put the Padres in front and set the tone for the victory. San Diego can clinch a playoff spot with a win on Thursday against the Dodgers, or if the Arizona Diamondbacks lose to the Colorado Rockies earlier that same day.
