MLB playoffs 2024: Fernando Tatis Jr., Padres make a statement with NLDS Game 2 win on a wild night at Dodger Stadium

LOS ANGELES — It’s no secret that Fernando Tatis Jr. is one of the most electric players in baseball. But lately, he’s showing that he might be one of the most electric players in postseason history.

After dropping Game 1 of the NLDS to the Dodgers, San Diego needed to set the tone of Game 2. On Saturday in Game 1, San Diego had jumped in front early with a big swing, but the Dodgers rallied back for a 7-5 victory, largely on the shoulders of Shohei Ohtani.

Seemingly undeterred, the Padres did the same on Sunday in Game 2, this time courtesy of Tatis.
