If there really are baseball gods, they certainly smiled on Dylan Cease when he was traded from the lowly Chicago White Sox to the San Diego Padres during spring training.

Some in the sellout crowd of 45,197 began chanting “Beat L.A.!” as the Padres players and staff saluted the fans after the final home regular-season game.

The Chicago White Sox tied the American League record with their 119th loss when Xander Bogaerts and Elias Díaz each hit a two-run homer to help the San Diego Padres win 6-2 and move closer to a playoff spot.

Xander Bogaerts, David Peralta and Elias Diaz all homered as the San Diego Padres sent the visiting Chicago White Sox to the brink of modern major league history with a 6-2 victory on Saturday night.

The Padres beat the White Sox 4-2 on Sunday, getting to 90 wins for just the fifth season in franchise history. They did it in front of an often-frenzied crowd announced at 45,197 at Petco Park, which vaulted them to a new record for season attendance.

The Padres (90-66) clinched their first 90-win season since 2010, when they finished 90-72 but missed the postseason thanks to a brutal September collapse.
