MLB: San Diego 7, Milwaukee 6

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- Chase Headley tripled in the tying run in the seventh and then scored the go-ahead tally Wednesday, boosting San Diego to a 7-6 win over Milwaukee.

Headley wrapped up the National League's RBI title in what was the 2,430th and last game of baseball's regular season.

San Diego fell behind by six runs through three innings and then came back to avoid finishing the season on what would have been a four-game losing streak. Milwaukee finished four games above the .500 mark and missed the playoffs by four games.

The Padres began their comeback in the fourth on a solo homer by Chris Denorfia, Headley had an RBI double during a two-run fifth and Cameron Maybin chipped in a two-run shot in the sixth that brought San Diego within one.

Headley tied it in the seventh with his triple that delivered Will Venable and then scored on a sacrifice fly from Yonder Alonso.

Headley finished the season with 115 RBI, three more than Milwaukee's Ryan Braun. He became the second member of the Padres to lead the league in that category.

Jim Henderson (1-3) was charged with the loss, having given up the two seventh-inning runs.
