The Dodgers lost in an absolutely unacceptable fashion on Monday night, when two Teoscar Hernández misplays directly led to a walk-off win for the Rockies, but they got some consolation when the Padres also fell to the Giants, allowing LA to maintain their two-game lead.
The Giants absolutely shelled new Padres starter Nestor Cortes in the first inning, when he immediately gave up two back-to-back homers to Heliot Ramos and Rafael Devers, and then a double and a two-run shot from Wilmer Flores.
Cortes leveled out in his next 4 2/3 innings, but the Padres' offense could hardly get a hit off of San Francisco starter Robbie Ray.
