Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, 5 p.m.
TV--Channel 11. Radio--XTRA (690), (1150)
* Update--This is a rematch of Game 1, although neither Smoltz nor Ashby were involved in the final decision. The Padres won, 3-2, in 10 innings. Said Smoltz, after the Braves stayed alive Sunday: “We’re still playing, and that’s all we can focus on or think about. Aside from giving you 600 cliches on every team that’s been down 3-1, I’m not going to do that. I like our chances better than all of those other teams, but we’ve still got to go through a brick wall against San Diego.”
