Walk-off lifts Padres to playoffs as Pivetta notches personal best

In Monday night’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers , Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta recorded five strikeouts, raising his season total to 190 — a career high for the nine-year veteran.

San Diego went on to beat Milwaukee 5-4 in extra innings. José Iglesias homered for the Padres, while Christian Yelich drove in two runs for the Brewers. Freddy Fermin delivered the walk-off hit that sealed the win and clinched a postseason berth for San Diego.

Pivetta has put together a career year with the Padres in 2025, posting 13 wins, a 2.87 ERA and 190 strikeouts in 181 2/3 innings. All are personal bests, as is his 5.3 WAR — more than double his previous high of 2.5.
