The Friars did to LA what the Dodgers did to San Diego in series opener. ⚾
On Friday night the Dodgers scored five times in the 8th inning thanks to a terrible night from the Padres bullpen to win the series opener at Petco Park. The strategy seemed sound so on Saturday night the Padres did the exact same thing to the Dodgers.
Blake Snell started and was not great. In the 1st inning he gave up a solo home run to Will Smith, the first dinger he's allowed since June 11. Snell allowed three runs in 5.0 innings and needed 108 pitches to get those 15 outs. It was looking like he'd take the loss because the Friars were having all kinds of trouble squaring up a slew of Dodgers pitchers on what amounted to a bullpen day.
Almonte allowed a hit and walked two, loading the bases with one out. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulled him and brought in lefty Caleb Ferguson to face Juan Soto. The strategy looked like it worked. Until it didn't.
