SAN DIEGO PADRES NEWS

Crushes solo shot Machado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the White Sox.

Impact Machado launched his 32nd homer of the year in the seventh inning to account for the Padres' last run. He also had their only multi-hit effort in the contest, his fourth in his last seven games. This was the first time the third baseman produced an RBI in five contests after reaching the century mark Sept. 25 versus the Rockies. He's at a .296/.367/.533 slash line with 101 RBI, 99 runs scored, nine stolen bases, 36 doubles and a triple through 147 contests in another standout year.

Picks up 35th save Hader allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 5-2 win over the White Sox.

Impact Hader pitched around a one-out single from Eloy Jimenez to protect a three-run lead. While he took a blown save in Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Dodgers, Hader has still gone 8.2 innings since he last allowed an earned run. He's converted five of six save chances across those nine appearances. The 28-year-old is 35-for-39 in save chances this year with a 5.29 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 80:21 K:BB in 49.1 innings between the Padres and the Brewers.

Secures seventh win Clevinger (7-7) allowed a run on three hits and struck out three over six innings to earn the win Saturday over the White Sox.

Impact Clevinger was efficient, needing just 66 pitches (48 strikes) to earn a quality start. He's alternated between strong and shaky over his last four starts, though he's been rewarded with wins in his two good outings in that span. For the year, the right-hander owns a 4.33 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 91:35 K:BB across 114.1 innings through 23 outings (22 starts). This was likely his last start of the regular season, and it's unclear what his role will be in the postseason in the likely event the Padres clinch a playoff berth.

Posts 11th steal Kim went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Kim hit just .207 (19-for-92) in September, adding three home runs, four doubles, seven RBI, eight runs scored and two steals in 25 contests. The shortstop nonetheless has maintained a near-everyday role. He's at a .248/.320/.375 slash line with 11 steals, 10 homers, 56 RBI and 56 runs scored through 146 games this season.

Yields three runs in loss Darvish (16-8) allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings, taking the loss Friday versus the White Sox.

Impact Darvish threw 70 of 104 pitches for strikes in a solid outing, but he was responsible for all three of the White Sox's runs. The right-hander had won six straight starts entering Friday, though he managed to extend his streak of quality starts to eight. For the year, he has a 3.10 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 197:37 K:BB through 194.2 innings across 30 starts. Darvish is tentatively lined up for a home start versus San Francisco next week, though it's unclear if he'll ultimately pitch again in the regular season or be saved until the playoffs should the Padres secure their spot.

Blitzed by Dodgers Johnson (1-2) took the loss and was charged with a blown save against the Dodgers on Thursday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two batters over two...

Impact San Diego held a one-run lead when Johnson entered in the sixth inning, but he surrendered a hit to each of the first three batters he faced to allow Los Angeles to tie the score. The righty nearly got out of the frame without further damage, but a two-out, two-run single off the bat of Miguel Vargas put the Dodgers ahead and resulted in Johnson's departure. It was the second time this season Johnson has allowed three runs in an appearance, though he's held the opponent scoreless in each of his other 11 outings.

Racks up three hits Profar went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Profar extended his hitting streak to seven games with the solid performance from the leadoff spot Thursday. In that span, he's gone 12-for-29 (.414) with six runs scored and three extra-base hits. The left fielder lifted his season slash line to .245/,333.,396 with 15 home runs, 58 RBI, 61 runs scored and five stolen bases through a career-high 147 contests.

Allows one run Thursday Manaea did not factor into the decision Thursday versus the Dodgers, allowing one run on two hits while striking out three and walking none in four innings.

Impact Manaea worked behind an opener Thursday, and the role appeared to suit him well. He'd given up five runs across his previous 8.2 innings entering the contest, but he had better results this time despite throwing only 38 of 62 pitches for strikes. The southpaw has a 5.15 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 150:49 K:BB across 152 innings through 29 outings this year, though his second-half struggles likely mean he'll operate out of the bullpen during the Padres' playoff run. He's tentatively set for one more regular-season outing next week versus the Giants.
