The series in San Diego did not go the way the Dodgers had hoped. Looking to keep pace with the Giants in first place, Los Angeles left the Padres series down 4 games in the west after getting swept. The offense was flat, the bullpen gave up runs in big spots, and the starters weren’t nearly as good as they needed to be to win.
It got ugly. Wednesday night ended with the Padres taking a late lead over the Dodgers thanks to an 8th inning rally. Jake Cronenworth led off the inning with a double over the head of Matt Beaty in right field.
