The Padres took Game 3 of the National League Division Series beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5 at Petco Park Tuesday night. Why it matters: The Padres are one game away from advancing to the NL Championship Series and eliminating the rival Dodgers.

Padres manager Mike Shildt defends Manny Machado, who was accused of throwing a ball at Dodgers manager Dave Roberts in the latest verbal exchange.

The park’s guest code of conduct “contains a zero-tolerance policy for any violations, including throwing items onto the field or making offensive, foul, or abusive comments to anyone.”
