Plenty of anticipation surrounded the first matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, and the series opener at Petco Park somehow exceeded expectations. L.A. came away with an 11-6 win in 12 innings, which was filled with tension for most of the night.
The Padres took an early lead when Walker Buehler’s first walk of the season kept the second inning alive and resulted in Luis Campusano lining a single into right field for his first RBI of the year.
Rookie Ryan Weathers protected the slim advantage as he pitched into the fourth inning in his first ever start.
