First Inning


The opening inning set a cautious tone as both teams failed to score. The Padres' starter Dylan Cease demonstrated his control on the mound, allowing no hits and keeping the Blue's batters at bay. Meanwhile, the Dodgers' defense held strong against San Diego's initial attempts to gain an early lead.


Third Inning


By the third inning, momentum began shifting towards Slam Diego. With three runs scored off three hits, including contributions from Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts, the Padres took charge of the game. Their aggressive batting style started to pay dividends as they capitalized on every opportunity presented by Los Angeles' pitching staff.


Sixth Inning


The sixth inning proved pivotal for San Diego as they exploded with four runs from four hits. This offensive surge was highlighted by Fernando Tatis Jr.'s dynamic play that energized both his teammates and fans alike. The Friars showcased their depth in hitting capabilities while maintaining pressure on Los Angeles’ pitchers throughout this crucial period.


Eighth Inning


Despite a late attempt by Los Angeles to rally back in the eighth inning with one run scored off three hits, it was not enough to challenge San Diego’s commanding lead. The Bums struggled against Padres’ bullpen which effectively contained any potential threats from escalating further damage during this phase of play.
