The Arizona Diamondbacks needed a win in Sunday's season finale to stay in the mix for a playoff berth.

They got the required victory, but now must wait to see if it's enough.

The Diamondbacks ended a two-game skid with an 11-2 rout over a San Diego Padres team they hope to join in the post-season.

Arizona won't know their fate until the completion of Monday's make-up double-header between the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves. The games were originally scheduled for last Wednesday and Thursday in Atlanta but were postponed due to Hurricane Helene ripping through the southeastern United States.

The Diamondbacks (89-73) will qualify for the playoffs if either the Mets or Braves sweep the double-header. If the two teams split the two games, however, both the Mets and Braves will secure the NL's last two wild-card berths.

San Diego (93-69) had already captured the NL's top wild-card spot.

The Diamondbacks, who entered the finale having lost five of six, knocked around the Padres in the fourth inning with six runs.

Christian Walker started the outburst with a double - the first of five consecutive hits for Arizona.

Eugenio Suarez singled to drive in Walker for his 100th RBI of the season, and Ketel Marte capped the fourth-inning scoring with a two-run homer.

San Diego's Luis Arraez notched his 200th hit with a sixth-inning double, which gave him the NL's batting title with a .314 average.

This is the third straight batting crown for Arraez - and incredibly, all three have come with different teams.

He won his first with the Minnesota Twins in 2022, then led the NL in batting last season with the Miami Marlins.

Braves lose to Royals to squander shot at play-off berth

The Braves could've punched a post-season ticket with a win over the play-off-bound Kansas City Royals in their series finale, but suffered a 4-2 defeat.

The Royals (86-76) jumped on Atlanta starter Charlie Morton early, tallying three runs before he was able to record an out.

Tommy Pham led off the game with a double, Bobby Witt Jr. followed with a single and Michael Massey plated both of them with a home run.

Witt wound up winning the AL batting title with a .332 average, becoming the first Kansas City batting champ since Hall of Famer George Brett in 1990.

Braves lead-off hitter Michael Harris II had three singles, but Atlanta (88-72) wasted several scoring chances, going just 1 for 9 with runners on and leaving nine men on base.

The Royals' season will continue Tuesday when they visit the Baltimore Orioles in a wild-card series.

King Bob.

Ohtani falls short of Triple Crown

Having already locked up the NL's top seed, the Los Angeles Dodgers didn't have much to play for in their season finale other than Shohei Ohtani trying to become the league's first Triple Crown winner in nearly 90 years.

Ohtani, however, came up short of the feat in the NL West-champion Dodgers' 2-1 win over the Colorado Rockies.

The Japanese superstar went 1 for 4 to finish the season with a .310 batting average to end up behind Arraez.

Ohtani led the NL this season in homers (54) and RBIs (130), but fell just short of becoming the league's first Triple Crown winner since the St. Louis Cardinals' Joe Medwick in 1937.

He did steal another base, however, his 59th of the season during Los Angeles' eighth-inning rally.

Chris Taylor's homer in the eighth evened the score at 1-1, and four batters later, Austin Barnes scored the winning run, coming home on a balk by Rockies reliever Seth Halvorsen.

The Dodgers (98-64) are now off until Saturday, when they open an NL Division Series.

The finale marked the last MLB game for four-time All-Star Charlie Blackmon, who announced earlier this week he was retiring after 14 seasons with the Rockies (61-101).
