Despite being no-hit through the first 5.2 innings of Tuesday’s matchup against the San Diego Padres, the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied late to pull out a 5-2 win and even up the series at Petco Park.
The comeback was made possible in part by AJ Pollock, who came up big with two clutch hits off the bench. Pinch-hitting for Joc Pederson in the seventh, he delivered a go-ahead RBI single that gave the Dodgers a 3-2 lead.
Two innings later, Pollock added some insurance in the form of a solo home run — his third of the season — to extend the Dodgers’ lead to 5-2.
