It’s not very difficult to find the reason the Dodgers lost Game 2 of the NLDS against the Padres. It’s the same reason they almost blew Game 1.
The offense, especially with runners in scoring position, has been abysmal.
The team is a combined 3-16 with RISP this series, and has left a whopping 16 runners on base. In Game 2, the Dodgers had runners on 1st and 3rd with nobody out in the 6th inning. They also had runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out in the 7th inning. They scored a combined zero runs.
