Cronenworth, Grisham provide offense; Snell, bullpen shut down Dodgers, who continue to struggle with runners in scoring position as San Diego takes 2-1 series lead
Most were wearing brown and gold and spent much of the night waving the gold flags they received on their way through the gates.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres stand for the national anthem before game 3 of the NLDS at Petco Park. Nick Martinez replaced Snell and struck out Justin Turner and got Chris Taylor on a dribbler in front of the mound, which Martinez barehanded and threw to first base.Taylor’s groundout was the 19consecutive at-bat with runners in scoring position that the Dodgers did not get a hit. That went back to their Game 1 victory.
The Padres got the early lead they said was so important in the bottom of the first with help from Juan Soto’s first extra-base hit of this postseason. That brought up Cronenworth, who on the seventh pitch he saw drove reached up to drive a split-finger fastball to center field that scored Soto and moved Machado to third. It was the third time in four at-bats that Cronenworth drove in a run.The Padres threatened in the second, driving Gonsolin from the game after one-out singles by Trent Grisham and Austin Nola.
