Summary
Padres had the Dodgers exactly where they wanted them. After Michael King’s rough fifth inning, the San Diego bullpen slammed the door, giving the offense multiple opportunities to come back. Manny Machado blasted his 15th home run of the season, Xander Bogaerts drove in another run, and the Padres cut the deficit to 4-2. Then came the moment everyone will debate. Trailing by two in the eighth inning, the Padres put runners on first and second with nobody out against former Padre Tanner Scott. Xander Bogaerts entered the at-bat 0-for-10 in his career against Scott, yet Craig Stammen chose not to bunt. Bogaerts struck out, Andújar scorched a ground ball into a devastating double play, and San Diego’s best opportunity disappeared. We’ll break down the turning point, Michael King’s difficult fifth inning, Manny Machado’s big day, another dominant effort from the bullpen, the controversial managerial decision, and whether the Padres continue to miss opportunities in the biggest moments.
