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. Xander Bogaerts added a solo home run in the third inning for San Diego. 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. Dustin May pitched brilliantly into the eighth inning for Milwaukee, but San Diego's resilience ultimately secured the sweep before an electrified home crowd at the venue today.
