Trayce Thompson’s first career postseason hit could not have come at a better time.
His single to lead off the 5th inning sparked the first big rally for the Dodgers, and brought them back into a game that felt a lot more out of hand than it was.
Thompson has had two solid at-bats so far in Game 3, which is a welcome sign for him after going 0-6 through the first two games of this series.
Most notably, his base hit came off of a Padres club that released him earlier this season after a short stop with San Diego.
