The San Diego Padres got the best of the Dodgers on Friday night, in the first matchup of 13 against the teams this season. The Padres were fueled by Fernando Tatis Jr., who hit two home runs and drove in three RBIs against Dodgers ace and reigning National League Pitcher of the Month Clayton Kershaw.
Tatis Jr., of course, wasn’t a part of the Padres’ success last season, as he injured himself in a motorcycle accident early in the season, and then got busted for using performance enhancing drugs, leading to an 80-game suspension.
