00:00The Dodgers unable to make up ground at least yesterday in San Diego, despite jumping out
00:08to a 5-0 lead, scoring five runs in the top of the first.
00:13Tyler Glass now not bad, but it was a ninth inning rally from San Diego.
00:18The second home run of the night for Manny Machado made it a one-run game.
00:23Then Jackson Merrill having a great rookie season for San Diego, a solo shot to send
00:29it into extras, where Donovan Solano delivers for San Diego, the game-winning RBI single
00:34to walk it off at home for the Padres.
00:37They take the opener over L.A., 6-5.
00:40Make the most of your opportunities.
00:41If you would have told me the Padres would score six runs and go two for four with runners
00:45in scoring position, which means only four runners were in scoring position, that's crazy.
00:49Not taking advantage of the runners in scoring position.
00:52The Los Angeles Dodgers, Ben, two of ten with runners in scoring position.
00:56That's not good enough.
00:57But also, the same thing I just said about the Philadelphia Phillies.
01:01Sure, it's awesome to have a five-run lead in the eighth inning, right?
01:05In the first inning, you know you're still going to get a game because the home team
01:09has nine more at-bats to try to counterpunch.
01:12You score five in the top of the first and not a single run the rest of the way, those
01:16are tough pills to swallow because, again, one run in the third, one run in the fifth,
01:20one run in the seventh, you win that baseball game going away.
01:23You don't score again, it gives the other team advantages to chip away, which it did
01:26in the second and third inning, and then finally, in the ninth inning and the bottom
01:29of the tenth inning.
01:30That is a gutsy performance by the San Diego Padres and a team to watch out for over these
01:34final two months.
