The Padres took sole possession of first place in the NL West on Wednesday, though it may be for just a few hours.

There's a change atop the NL West standings, at least for now. The Padres hold a half-game lead over the Dodgers following their sweep of the Giants.

The Padres entered play Wednesday afternoon in San Francisco with a chance to move into sole possession of first place -- even if only for a few hours before the Dodgers’ series finale on Wednesday night in Anaheim.
