The San Diego Padres were on the verge of a series win Wednesday, but couldn’t convert a rally into a victory when they had the Los Angeles Dodgers in their sights.
Instead, the Padres dropped to ten games under .500 as the Dodgers pulled out a 6-4 win thanks to a blown save by San Diego closer Kirby Yates.
Wednesday was another “bullpen day” for the Friars, who went through eight pitchers and that showed. After the offense staked them to a two-run lead almost immediately, they turned around and gave up three runs in the top of the second inning.
