Padres Drop Home Finale
The final night of baseball at Petco Park was bitter-sweet. After a touching ceremony honoring legendary broadcaster Dick Enberg; the San Diego Padres could not hang on to an early lead, as they dropped the series finale to the Los Angeles Dodgers by a final of 9-4.
After starter Christian Friedrich cruised through the first four innings, but ran into trouble when young sensation Joc Pederson hit an RBI double. The Dodgers then exploded on offense in the sixth, scoring four runs off of San Diego reliever Jose Torres to take the lead. This surge was fueled by a Pederson two run double off of the wall. From this point forward, the Dodgers did not relinquish their lead.
