The NL wild card series on Thursday, Oct. 2 will see the Chicago Cubs play host to the San Diego Padres. Action begins at 3:08 p.m. ET at Wrigley Field, and can be watched on ABC. Tickets for Game 3 of the Cubs vs. Padres playoff series are still available on StubHub.

With all games complete, Major League Baseball announced the start time for Game 3 of the NL Wild Card Series between the San Diego Padres and the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

The Cubs haven’t exactly torn the cover off the ball in recent postseason opportunities at Wrigley Field. But Pete Crow-Armstrong, Kyle Tucker, Ian Happ and the rest have one more chance on Thursday.

Manny Machado hit a two-run home run, Mason Miller dominated again and the San Diego Padres beat the Chicago Cubs 3-0 on Wednesday, sending their NL wild-card series to a decisive third game.

The Cubs recorded a 3-1 victory in the series opener Tuesday before being limited to just four hits in a 3-0 setback Wednesday. The winner of Thursday's contest will face the top-seeded Milwaukee Brewers in a best-of-five NL Division Series.

Mason Miller is one of the hardest throwers in baseball. And on Wednesday, he threw the hardest fastball ever recorded in an MLB postseason game. The pitch from the San Diego Padres' star reliever came in at 104.5 miles per hour.

Seniors at Merrill Gardens in Downtown San Diego celebrated the Padres' 3-0 win against the Cubs on Wednesday afternoon in their own way.
