What happened: Manny Machado blew a bubble on the basepaths as he watched his deep drive, believing he had leveled the score. An athletic grab at the outfield wall denied the slugger and kept the Brewers in front.

Why it matters: Milwaukee entered the matchup leading the series 2-1 and looking to secure a spot in the Championship Series. A loss ends the season for the Padres, making the defensive stand a critical moment in the elimination game.

What to watch: The Brewers will attempt to secure the final outs to advance, while San Diego needs a ninth-inning rally to force a decisive Game 5.
