Padres at Mets, 4:00 PM PDT, TV: ESPN. The series is tied at 1-1; winner of this game moves on to a division series against the Dodgers.
RHP Joe Musgrove (10-7, 2.93 ERA) takes the hill for the Padres and RHP Chris Bassitt (15-9, 3.42 ERA) does so for the Mets.
Today is the anniversary of the Jeffrey Maier game: 1996 Derek Jeter, with the Yankees down 4-3 in the eighth inning, ties the game with a fly ball to right field ruled a home run by umpire Rich Garcia, despite the protest of spectator interference that prevented the ball from being caught by outfielder Tony Tarasco and the Orioles manager Davey Johnson. Video replay clearly shows 12-year-old Jeffrey Maier reaching over the fence and bringing the catchable live ball into the stands, forever changing the outcome of Game 1 of the ALCS and, many believe, of the series.

The Barves are off to a shaky start in the mild card matchup.

Do they really trust Sax to make the throw? https://twitter.com/FabianArdaya/status/1579577917755228160?s=20&t=7BvhWzHQiImwQ-SS4a-Jdg
Replay arrived a quarter century too late for the Orioles, who would’ve easily won the challenge.
Padres win 6-0. My goodness.
Showalter was the difference in the series.
In what way?
Not going with his best pitcher in game one, to start with.
Most would say Scherzer and DeGrom are equal, I think.
Showalter was the difference in the series.

I wanted to see a game like Toronto-Seattle. I feel I’ve been cheated.
Now 4-0 Padres through six.
Mutts looking pretty hopeless.
Padres up 2-0.

Here’s hoping everybody on both staffs gets a chance to pitch tonight.
