SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Atlanta Braves got a whiff of October in late September. The defending NL East champions fell behind the San Diego Padres three times — including on Manny Machado’s grand slam — and came back each time to tie the game. Soler, who hit a three-run homer in the sixth, then helped seal the biggest collapse in Padres history with his hit off Daniel Hudson (5-3). “It was a huge win, especially considering the fact it felt like we were playing behind the entire game,“ Soler said. Their names were not released; both lived in San Diego.
