Los Angeles – It was an abnormally cool 71° July afternoon at Dodger Stadium on Sunday as the Dodgers and Padres wrapped up the final game of the first half. The Dodgers’ offense has cooled off this last week going into the break. They seem to be in All-Star break mode already. The Boys in Blue dropped their third straight game after the 5-3 loss to San Diego. It’s the first series loss at home since early April, and the first time they’ve lost three straight at Dodger Stadium since August 2018.

The Padres wasted no time.
