Now THIS is how you clinch a playoff spot in style.
The San Diego Padres were facing their NL West rival in the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night. The Dodgers had two on and no outs, facing closer Robert Suarez. Perhaps Miguel Rojas could have bunted to get the force out eliminated and the top of the order up, but alas.
Because Rojas hit a ball right to Manny Machado, who started a triple play that ended the game and clinched a playoff spot for the Padres. What a way to do it! SO DRAMATIC.
Here’s that moment everyone is buzzing about:
