The San Diego Padres kicked off a four-game series vs the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night. The friars came in chasing the Dodgers by only a game and a half. Unfortunately, it is now two and a half games after the Dodgers 3-1 victory.
It wasn’t all-LA in this one, at one point the Padres controlled a 1-0 lead. In Manny Machado’s return to the lineup, he reached on a double in the first and was able to come across on a Nomar Mazara single. Despite the early lead, the first inning was the only inning the Padres led in this one.
