Padres fail to sweep Dodgers in marathon 17 inning loss

The Friars fought furiously for the first 16 frames, but the finale fell the Dodgers way.

The theme of this series has been late Padres comebacks and this game did not disappoint on that level. However, it did ultimately disappoint any that were hoping for a series sweep of the rival Dodgers. The late innings stuff also did nothing to help with the lack of excitement early in the game. In the first 4 and a half innings the only semblances of offense were a Trayce Thompson single and a couple hit batsmen. You could call it a pitchers duel, but it did not seem like either pitcher was especially sharp and there weren't even dramatic defenses plays.
