Luis Arraez’s eighth-inning sacrifice fly with the bases loaded brought the Padres to within a run, but Manny Machado popped out on the first pitch by Blake Treinen to end that inning and Ryan O’Hearn flied out to end the game with a the tying run on first base to snap the Padres’ five-game winning streak and the Dodgers’ four-game skid.

The Padres have not been alone in first place since April, and have not been in first place this late in the season since 2010, and yet they lead the Dodgers by one game.
