Good morning to everyone but especially to...

THE SAN DIEGO PADRES AND THAT GOOSE

To win in the postseason, you need your stars to play like stars and your non-stars to... also play like stars in key moments. The Padres roster did that in a 5-3 Game 2 win over the Dodgers that featured a little bit of everything.

Manny Machado hit a solo home run in the first inning and an RBI double in the third inning to get the Padres' offense going.Tied 3-3 in the sixth, Jurickson Profar hit the go-ahead single for San Diego. Jake Cronenworth added a solo home run in the eighth inning.Josh Hader converted a four-out save.It's the Padres' first NLDS win since 2006.

For all of San Diego's big names, it was Robert Suarez who arguably came up biggest. Inserted in the sixth inning with runners on the corners and no outs, he struck out Justin Turner and got Gavin Lux to ground into a double play. In the seventh inning, Suarez loaded the bases with two outs before getting Will Smith to fly out. Suarez -- a 31-year-old rookie who spent time with the team's rookie-level and Triple-A affiliates this year -- "[possibly] recorded the six biggest outs of the Padres' season," writes MLB expert Matt Snyder.

Oh, and the Padres overcame a rally goose. Yes, you read that right, a rally goose:

Both NLDS Game 3s are tomorrow.

... AND ALSO A GOOD MORNING TO THE ATLANTA BRAVES

Kyle Wright led the league with 21 wins this regular season and, while wins are far from a perfect stat, on Wednesday he showed his success was no accident. Wright tossed six scoreless innings, and the Braves evened up their NLDS series with the Phillies 1-1 with a 3-0 win.

Wright became just the second Braves starter to go at least six innings while allowing two or fewer hits, one or fewer walks and zero earned runs in the postseason. The other? Greg Maddux in 1995.Wright and Zack Wheeler were locked in a pitchers duel with things scoreless entering the bottom of the sixth. Then Matt Olson, Austin Riley and Travis d'Arnaud each came through with RBI singles.A.J. Minter, Raisel Iglesias and Kenley Jansen each threw a scoreless inning to finish things off.

After Max Fried's poor Game 1 start, the Braves needed Wright to come through, and he did in a big way, writes baseball guru R.J. Anderson.

Anderson: "Of his 83 pitches, 52 went for strikes. In suffocating the Phillies, Wright leaned heavily on his fastball and curve, and he also mixed in his sinker. That was essential, since Wright's four-seamer in Game 2 was down about a full mph relative to his regular-season average fastball velocity. In terms of Game Score... Wright put up a 73. Just twice during the regular season did he exceed that figure, and those two starts came against the Pirates and Marlins – two lineups that can't compare to Philly's."
