The\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0and the San Diego Padres are going at it in the marquee series of the week, as two of the best teams in baseball clash in a crucial division rivalry. The\u00a0Dodgers got the better of the Padres in an epic extra-innings in the first game of the set on Monday night, but they didn’t have the same success on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Padres jumped all over Los Angeles to start the game, racing out to a 9-0 lead and\u00a0forcing the Dodgers to turn to position players on the mound in the sixth inning. By the end of the carnage, San Diego had raced away with an 11-1 victory to even the series up at one game apiece.<\/p>\n

Dodgers pitcher Matt Sauer got crushed by the explosive and dangerous Padres lineup in this one. After Lou Trevino started as an opener with a scoreless first inning, Sauer got rocked for nine runs on 13 hits in just 4.2 innings as the Padres blew the game open. After the game, Sauer\u00a0didn’t hold back\u00a0on where he struggled in the loss.<\/p>\n
