Rookie Ethan Salas singled in Jake Cronenworth from third base with one out in the 10th inning and the San Diego Padres beat the Miami Marlins 7-6 on Saturday night to lower their magic number to three for clinching their third straight postseason berth. Salas, the Padres' top prospect who was called up Sept. 1, punched a single up the middle on an 0-2 pitch from Josh Ekness (2-4) and his teammates mobbed him in a wild celebration that ended up in the outfield. David Morgan (4-1) got the victory
