Dodgers Called Out by MLB Fans as Fernando Tatís Jr., Padres Take NLDS Lead in Game 3

The San Diego Padres are an uber-talented, confident team that came into the NLDS as one of the hotter groups in baseball, having won 13 of their last 17 contests. They don't need much help to win games these days.

But in the bottom of the second inning on Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers provided them with more than a little assistance.

The Padres pushed across six runs in that frame, aided by a Freddie Freeman throwing error and the Dodgers' inability to get out a single baserunner in a double-play attempt. Fernando Tatís Jr. capped off the frame with a two-run blast, providing the Padres with enough offense to pull out a 6-5 win.
