Seeds started the home game against the Houston Astros at Petco Park on the 19th (Korea time), blocking eight ⅓ innings with two hits and five strikeouts and leading the team to a 4-0 victory.
As a result, Siz was 14-11 with a 3.42 ERA in 32 games this season, and he had 220 strikeouts, WHIP 1.05, and a 0.199 hit rate in 184 ⅓ innings.
He rose to the lone top spot in the NL strikeouts, beating Atlanta Braves Chris Sale (219). Detroit Tigers Tarik Skubal ranks first in strikeouts in both leagues. He had 221 strikeouts against the Kansas City Royals, winning 17 games this season with three hits, seven strikeouts and one run in five innings.
San Diego marked 87 wins and 66 losses and maintained a 3.5 game ride against the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers to lead the wild card. San Diego will now advance to the postseason on its own if it adds five wins in its nine remaining games. By reducing the magic number to -5, you can secure an autumn baseball ticket at home against the Chicago White Sox on the 22nd at the earliest.
Sizu's pitch was near perfection. At the start of the game, he showed off his ace's prowess by overpowering 15 batters with consecutive miscues until the fifth inning. Siz, who gave up a right-handed hit to Jason Heyward in the sixth inning, seemed to be on the verge of a shutout, throwing out nine consecutive batters until the eighth inning.

Sizz, who struck out Jake Myers, then induced Jose Altuve to ground out again. However, Bogaerts plunged the ball rolling head-on through the crotch, and all the runners lived. If Bogaerts handled it properly, it led to a double play and the game ended as it was.
When Siz was on the first and third bases with one out, manager Mike Shildt went up to the mound and replaced the pitcher. Bogaerts' error blocked Siz's second shutout of the season. Bogaerts has been in charge of shortstop since the Seattle Mariners match on the 11th due to Kim Ha-sung's prolonged shoulder injury.
However, Tanner Scott, who took the mound, then struck out the next two batters and hit a fly ball to keep Siz's run '0'.
Shees will start San Diego as the first starter in the postseason. He is 6-3 with a 2.47 ERA in 12 games in the second half. In particular, he achieved a no-hitter with no hits and no runs in nine innings on the road against the Washington Nationals on July 26.
San Diego decided the game by widening the gap to 4-0 in the bottom of the eighth inning, with three hitters, second, third and fourth, leading Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, and Donovan Solano, hitting consecutive solo home runs. It is the first time in 27 years that three consecutive home runs have been hit in San Diego since 1997.
