The San Diego Padres took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three National League Wild Card Series on Tuesday night.

San Diego featured a dominant pitching performance from Michael King in the 4-0 win, putting them one win away from a trip to the NLDS this weekend.

On offense, San Diego was powered by Fernando Tatis Jr., who hit a home run in the first inning.

The fact that the Padres won isn’t surprising, but the way they won is.

According to Sarah Langs of MLB.com:

Braves-Padres lasted 2 hours and 9 minutes

This is the fastest postseason game since 1996, NLDS G2, ATL at LAD – Greg Maddux vs. Ismael Valdez, 2:08

Obviously baseball has been sped up by the pitch clock in the last two seasons, but this is still a blisteringly fast game. And that’s what happens when someone has a night like King’s on the mound. The right-hander went scoreless for 7.0 innings and scattered five hits. Most importantly, he failed to score and scored 12, adding to the pace of the game. He only needed 89 pitches, showing he was economical and in control all night.

The two teams will face off again on Wednesday evening. First pitch takes place at 8:38 p.m. ET. Braves left-hander Max Fried will get the ball against Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove.

Fried went 11-10 with a 3.25 ERA this season. He’s a free agent at the end of the year, so this could be his last game for the Braves.

Musgrove has struggled with injury this season but was 6-5 with a 3.88 ERA.
