Well if you had any hope of a Padres series win in Los Angeles to gain ground in NL West standings, that won’t be happening. The best San Diego can do at this point is split the series.
Blake Snell had arguably the best start of his season. It wasn’t pretty after a 1-2-3 first inning, as the second included a home run, and the third, fourth, and fifth all included a runner to reach scoring position. Considering Snell was in LA and went 5 IP, 1 ER, and 12 Ks should be a massive victory in pursuit of a win.
