The Padres (86-71) took their third straight loss after the
Phillies (84-72) and Brewers (84-73) both won on Friday,
tightening the National League wild-card race.
San Diego still has a magic number of three to clinch a
wild-card berth, but Philadelphia is now only 1 1/2 games behind
the Padres in the race for the No. 2 berth. Milwaukee is a
half-game back of the Phillies.
The Padres took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Brandon
Drury doubled with one out and scored on Josh Bell's single to
center.
The White Sox tied the game when Eloy Jimenez opened the fourth
inning with a homer to left off Darvish. It was Jimenez's 16th
long ball this season.
Gavin Sheets followed the home run with a double, and he scored
on Yoan Moncada's single to put the White Sox ahead 2-1. It was
the first time since Aug. 27 that Darvish allowed three hits in
an inning.
The White Sox extended the lead to 3-1 in the sixth on a double
by Moncada and a RBI single by Andrew Vaughn.
Martin (3-5) allowed a run on six hits and no walks with a
career-high eight strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. Joe Kelly,
Kendall Graveman, Aaron Bummer and Jimmy Lambert combined to
blank San Diego over the next 2 1/3 innings.
Liam Hendricks struck out two in a perfect ninth to record his
35th save. White Sox pitchers struck out 15 Padres while walking
two.
Darvish (16-8) gave up three runs on eight hits and a walk with
six strikeouts in six innings. He and three Padres relievers
retired 11 straight White Sox hitters to end the game, but the
San Diego offense couldn't respond.
