The Padres complete the sweep. But, I'm still trying to recover from the awesomeness that was Padres Faces on 80s Wrestlers. If you follow me on Twitter, you know I'm a bit of a WWE fan, so this was like Christmas for me.

Yangervis Solarte and Melvin Upton Jr. battled it out for the Series MVP honors. James Shields turned in an admirable effort with his 6 shutout innings for his 9th win of the season and first since July 17th.
Solarte went 4 for 11 in the series with 2 home runs and 5 RBI while Upton Jr. went 4 for 9 with 2 homers and 5 RBI.
If we're going on WWF/WWE headshots alone, Solarte has the advantage as Superfly Solarte, but the choice is yours. Two of the best were Austin Hedges as The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels and Yonder Alonso as The Big Boss Man.
Vote in the poll for the Series MVP against the Atlanta Braves.
