Padres Beat White Sox, Near Playoff Berth

The San Diego Padres defeated the Chicago White Sox 4-2 on Sunday, bringing their magic number to clinch a postseason spot down to one. Fernando Tatis Jr. capped off a three-run rally in the eighth inning with a homer, helping the Padres secure their first 90-win season since 2010. The loss marked the White Sox's 120th defeat, tying them with the 1962 New York Mets for the most losses in a single season in the modern era. With six games remaining, the White Sox could set a new record if they suffer another loss. The Padres, currently holding the top NL wild card spot, will face the NL West-leading Dodgers next. The White Sox will finish their season with series against the Los Angeles Angels and Detroit Tigers.
