The Dodgers respond to the host Padres’ five-run inning with an eight-run frame of their own in a 13-7 win to take another series, and so much for the “Beat L.A.” chants.
SAN DIEGO — See, this is how this rivalry, such as it is, has always worked dating to 1969 and the birth of the San Diego Padres.
The Dodgers are still a first-place team. The Padres were emboldened enough last winter after winning two playoff series to empty their vault even more and doubled down at last week’s trade deadline even though they haven’t been north of .500 since May 10. While they entered Monday three games back in the National League wild-card race they also have to leapfrog four teams to get back to the postseason., was the relationship in microcosm.
“We never really panic, and we play every pitch … I don’t know if the plan was to take it all back that inning. We were trying to just get a couple of runs across, but it ended up being a big inning.”
