SAN DIEGO -- - Manny Machado hit an RBI single during the five-run first inning and homered leading off the third for the San Diego Padres , who got a final tune-up for the postseason by routing the Arizona Diamondbacks 12-4 on Sunday for a three-game sweep.

San Diego heads to Chicago for a best-of-three NL wild-card series against the Cubs starting Tuesday. The teams split the season series 3-3, with each team going 2-1 at home. It'll be the first time they've met in the postseason since the 1984 National League Championship Series, when the Padres rallied from an 0-2 deficit to beat the Cubs in five games and advance to their first World Series.

San Diego is 3-0 all-time in wild card series. However, they've struggled on the road this season, going 38-43 away from Petco Park.
