Blake Snell - Takes loss despite quality start Snell (8-10) took the loss during Sunday's 2-1 defeat at the hands of the White Sox, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with six strikeouts in six innings.

The 29-year-old tossed 60 of 103 pitches for strikes with 12 of the swinging variety and has surrendered one earned run or fewer in six of his last seven starts, lowering his ERA from 4.14 to 3.38 in the process. Snell concludes the campaign with a 3.38 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with 171 strikeouts in 128 innings across 24 starts. His 12.2 K/9 rank second among players with at least 70 innings.

Juan Soto - Homers in win Soto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 win over the White Sox.
Impact Soto has gone 9-for-32 (.281) across his last eight games while adding two homers, three RBI, six runs and three doubles in that span. The outfielder's solo shot Saturday tied the game at 1-1 in the first inning, answering Elvis Andrus' leadoff blast. Soto's been better over the last week or so, but he still has a .243/.403/.457 slash line through 150 contests. He's added 27 homers, 62 RBI, 93 runs scored and six stolen bases.

Jake Cronenworth - Lifts two-run blast Cronenworth went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-2 win over the White Sox.
Impact Cronenworth has hit safely in six of the last seven games, going 7-for-26 (.269) with eight RBI in that span. His sixth-inning blast Saturday gave the Padres their first lead of the contest and was enough for them to earn the win. The second baseman is up to 17 homers, 85 RBI, 87 runs scored and three stolen bases while slashing .238/.333/.389 through 155 games.

Manny Machado - 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.

Josh Hader - 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.

Mike Clevinger - 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.
