SAN DIEGO—Jorge Alfaro is used to being in position to walk off games. Just not with a walk-off walk.

Alfaro drew a bases-loaded free pass from Craig Kimbrel with two outs in the 10th inning and the San Diego Padres beat the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers 4–3 on Tuesday night, Sept. 27, to reduce their magic number for clinching a wild-card berth to four.
