After a lackluster performance in the series opener, the Los Angeles Dodgers responded with a 7-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night to lower their magic number to clinch the National League West to seven.
They now send left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu to the mound as they go for the series win over the Padres in what is the last regular-season game at Dodger Stadium this season.
Ryu is in the midst of a career-year for the Dodgers, going 5-3 with a 2.18 ERA, 3.01 FIP and 1.04 WHIP in 13 starts. He has struck out 78 and walked 13 in 70.
