The Arizona Diamondbacks have clinched a spot in the National League Wild Card game after a thrilling 5-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. The victory gives the Diamondbacks their first postseason appearance since 2017.
Zac Gallen pitched 6.1 strong innings for the Diamondbacks, allowing only two runs on four hits. The bullpen held the Padres scoreless over the final 2.2 innings to secure the victory.
The Diamondbacks will now face the Milwaukee Brewers in the Wild Card game on Wednesday, October 5th. The winner of that game will advance to the National League Division Series to face the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Diamondbacks' success is a testament to the team's young talent, led by Gallen, Ketel Marte, and Christian Walker. The team also benefited from a strong bullpen, which ranked among the best in the National League.
The Diamondbacks' victory is a major boost for the city of Phoenix and the state of Arizona. The team's success has helped to energize the community and bring people together. The Diamondbacks' run in the playoffs is sure to be an exciting one, and the team has a chance to make a deep run into October.
