Yu Darvish pitched 7 beautiful innings of 2-hit shutout baseball, and the red-hot San Diego Padres’ offense lit up the scoreboard again, shutting out the New York Mets 5-0 to finish off a gorgeous 3-game sweep at Petco Park.

Gavin Sheets hit a 2-run homer in the 3rd inning, after Manny Machado laced a 2-run single in the bottom of the 2nd.

Jackson Merrill added an RBI in the 8th, but the game was pretty much over at that point with the way Darvish, Jason Adam and Robert Suarez were throwing the ball today.

The Pads got things going early, putting pressure on Mets’ starter Clay Holmes. They scored 4 runs in the 1st 3 innings, while leaving runners on 2nd & 3rd in the 1st through 4th innings. They had 8 of their 9 hits through the 1st 4 innings.

Machado, Luis Arraez and Martin Maldonado had 2 hits each. Fernando Tatis singled, walked and scored twice.

Jake Cronenworth made a great diving catch to rob Tyrone Taylor on a popup to shallow right field.

The Pads went 0-9 with runners in scoring position. Their top 5 hitters- Fernando Tatis Jr, Luis Arraez, Manny Machado, Jackson Merrill and Xander Bogaerts- went a combined 8-20. The bottom 4 hitters went 3-16.

Contreras went 2-2 and scored 2 runs, and Mason Winn drove in 2 runs for the red birds. Contreras is 4-5 with an HBO in the series so far, scoring 4 runs and driving in 4 more.

Pivetta (10-3) lost for the 1st time since May 11th,giving up 3 runs- 2 earned- on just 3 hits while striking out 4 and walking 2 in 6 1/3 innings of work.

The benches cleared briefly in the bottom of the 2nd inning, when Pivetta hit Contreras with a pitch to start the inning. Pivetta and Contreras said some things to each other, it escalated quickly and ended just as fast.

Winn’s 2-run double in the 4th inning scored Nolan Arenado & Contreras to make it 3-0.

Miles Mikolas (6-7) went 7 innings to get the win for the Cards, striking out just 1 hitter but also walking none.

The Cardinals now sit just 1.5 games behind the Padres for the 3rd and final wild card spot in the National League playoff race. The Giants are just a half game behind the Pads, and will either be tied with them or a game behind after they finish with the Mets tonight.

Wandy Peralta worked 2/3 of an inning, cleaning up for Pivetta in the 7th, and David Morgan pitched a scoreless 8th for the Friars.
