Braves taint Brown dominance in NLCS Game 5
Kevin Brown entered in relief for San Diego at Qualcomm Stadium as Atlanta Braves rally after a strong start by Brown. Michael Tucker hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning to fuel a five-run frame, turning a Padres lead into a 5 4 loss. Brown yielded three runs and two hits in 1 1/3 innings, costing him a potential Game 6 start. The Padres weigh Brown’s Wednesday start as Atlanta eyes a seventh game.

Padres ride maturity to division title and deep run
San Diego general manager Kevin Towers says the team’s postseason growth stems from maturity, not just changes. The Padres won a franchise-record 98 games, swept Houston in the Division Series, and faced Atlanta in the League Championship Series after advancing past St. Louis in 1986. Seanez, in his 13th pro season and his seventh organization, finally feels part of a postseason club with Atlanta. Ozzie Guillen’s late-season return at short and Leonard Coleman inviting Don Baylor to World Series games highlight surrounding notes.
