Yu Darvish bounced back with an efficient seven scoreless innings, and the Padres' lineup continued to produce in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Mets. New York arrived at Petco Park winners of seven straight, only to lose all three against a surging San Diego club.

Díaz’s two-run double added on in a game in which the Padres bunted their way to a run in the first inning and had a lucky-hop triple give them a 2-1 lead in the sixth. Before the seventh inning was over, Manny Machado had hit a three-run homer to give the bullpen some breathing room.

PITCHING PROBABLES: Mets: Clay Holmes (9-5, 3.40 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 88 strikeouts); Padres: Yu Darvish (0-3, 9.18 ERA, 1.80 WHIP, 11 strikeouts) BOTTOM LINE: The San Diego Padres and the New York Mets square off in the last game of a three-game series. The Padres can sweep the series with a win.
