With a tough Dodgers series looming, their pitching woes are mounting, especially with Randy Vásquez struggling mightily. Meanwhile, the Dodgers’ Roki Sasaki is heating up, making this matchup even more daunting. But there’s hope: Sung-Mun Song crushed his first MLB homer, and Jake Cronenworth is crushing it at the plate since returning from injury. The Padres have history of turning things around — they were once the best second-half team in baseball — and with a little consistency, they might just find their footing again.
