The Dodgers and Padres are in the midst of a three-game series in San Diego this weekend, their first series of the 2023 season. The Padres got the better of the Dodgers in the first game on Friday, winning 5-2 behind two home runs from Fernando Tatis Jr., someone who wasn’t a part of the rivalry in the 2022 season.
However, it is important to remember that this was just one game in early May, and these teams will play another 12 times this season — and there are still over 100 games to go in the MLB regular season.
