The Los Angeles Dodgers may have taken two out of three from the San Diego Padres at Petco Park this week to close out a successful road trip, but the latter also showed why they are a young team with a bright future ahead.
In Wednesday’s series finale, the Dodgers almost blew a five-run lead, requiring a perfect throw from Chris Taylor in left field to nail Trent Grisham at the plate to end the game and preserve a 7-6 victory.
The Padres were competitive all series long, and while the Dodgers won two of three, San Diego caught the attention of manager Dave Roberts.
