Summary
The Los Angeles Dodgers achieved a crucial 5-2 victory over the San Diego Padres, using seven relievers to clinch the series win. Despite a poor showing from stars Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman, who combined for just 3-for-14 without RBIs, Teoscar Hernández emerged as the standout, hitting a three-run homer in the sixth inning to break a 1-1 tie. This win was particularly vital as the Padres have been closely contesting the Dodgers throughout the season.
