SAN DIEGO -- Luis Campusano delivered a two-out single in the bottom of the eleventh inning, driving in pinch-runner Sun-Mung Song to give the San Diego Padres a thrilling four-to-three walk-off victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday afternoon at Petco Park. The dramatic win capped a brilliant five-and-one homestand and completed a three-game sweep of the major league leaders. Earlier, Gary Sánchez put Milwaukee ahead with an eleventh-inning RBI double, but Jackson Merrill tied the game with a sacrifice fly off Antonio Senzatela.

With this victory, the surging Padres extended their winning streak to five games and moved past Arizona and Philadelphia into the National League wild-card position.
