The $2 billion dollar bullies from the north return to Petco Park for a three game series against the San Diego Padres beginning Friday. In six games against the Dodgers so far this year, the Padres have won one with one postponed by rain.
As has been the norm lately, the season began against Los Angeles and Clayton Kershaw. The Dodgers set the tone for the season winning 14-3. Center fielder Joc Pederson hit a grand slam, former Padre Yasmani Grandal two home runs, and shortstop (and National League Rookie of the Year for 2016) Corey Seager a three-run shot.
