First Inning


The game began quietly for both teams, with neither side managing to score in the first inning. The Dodgers struggled to find their rhythm early on, unable to get any hits off the Padres' starting pitcher.


Third Inning


San Diego took control in the third inning, scoring three runs and setting the tone for what would be a dominant performance. The Friars showcased their batting prowess with three hits that inning, putting pressure on Los Angeles's pitching staff.


Fifth Inning


By the fifth inning, San Diego had extended their lead further by adding another run. Despite efforts from Blue's bullpen to contain them, Slam Diego continued to find gaps in Los Angeles's defense.


Sixth Inning


The sixth inning proved pivotal as San Diego exploded with four more runs. This offensive surge was fueled by four hits and left Bums scrambling for answers as they tried unsuccessfully to halt this momentum shift.


Eighth Inning


Los Angeles managed its only run during this period when Michael Conforto drove in one of his teammates after hitting safely earlier himself; however it wasn't enough against such overwhelming odds presented by Slam Diego’s relentless attack throughout most innings played thus far today!
