Tony Gonsolin needed 31 pitches to get through the first inning, 14 of which were out of the strike zone. Of the plastic variety, anyway. Trayce Thompson, who started the first two games in left field, mans center in Game 3. For Taylor, it’s his first appearance in the series, and first game since September 30, after dealing with neck stiffness that required a cortisone shot and kept him out of the final five regular season contests.

SAN DIEGO -- When the Dodgers signed Freddie Freeman in the offseason, a “best lineup ever?” graphic popped up on MLB Network. It was a valid question and ...

Through three games, the story for the Dodgers has been the same. The Dodgers have the star power at the top and the perfect complimentary pieces at the bottom. Through 162 games, the Dodgers’ lineup proved to be the best in the league, and one of the best ever.

Cronenworth, Grisham provide offense; Snell, bullpen shut down Dodgers, who continue to struggle with runners in scoring position as San Diego takes 2-1 ...

The Dodgers left a runner at second base in the first inning, the bases loaded in the third, scored a run but left a runner on second in the fifth and a runner at second in the sixth. They lost three in a row to the same team just twice. One of those was in the final week of the season, well after they had anything to play for. Friday was their first victory in four playoff games at the ballpark in front of fans. It was the third time in four at-bats that Cronenworth drove in a run. That brought up the top of the Dodgers’ order, widely considered the best trio in the league. Andrew Heaney took three pitches to end the inning, getting Jurickson Profar on what was ostensibly a bunt attempt and Soto on a pop-up. It was a lot of years waiting in the mix. “You could tell from the second I walked out of the dugout to go warm up,” he said. And then when we do get them, regardless if it’s a starter or the guy in the pen, we’ve got to find a way to push him across. The Dodgers’ run came on Mookie Betts’ sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. That was the craziest game I’ve ever been a part of.”

“I think that we’re being hyper-aggressive early in counts and not staying on the ball.” As a result, the Dodgers face a situation that seemed far-fetched at the beginning of the week: Win back-to-back games on consecutive days, or watch their season go up in brown and yellow flames in the postseason’s second week. In the top of the fifth, the team had runners on second and third with no outs and the top of the order coming up. The Dodgers’ offense continued to scuffle against the San Diego Padres in L.A.'s 2-1 loss in Game 3 of the NLDS, and now the 111-win team’s season is at With a 2-1 win Friday in Game 3 of the National League Division Series, the Padres conquered the Dodgers in a way they’ve seldom done in recent years, again quieting the majors’ best regular-season offense to take a two games to one series lead and put the Dodgers’ season on the brink. On the night of the Padres’ first home playoff game with a crowd in 16 years, their fans were treated to another sight that felt almost as rare.

The Padres beat the Dodgers 2-1 - their first playoff win in front of their own fans since 1998 - to move one win away from the NLCS.

“It feels like it's kind of meant to be, right?,’’ Padres manager Bob Melvin says. This is a Padres team that has been bullied by the Dodgers virtually every year since they came into existence in 1969. “I mean, from getting the opening-day assignment this year, the way he pitched, the reception he got coming off the field. I think that was my first Dodger game was getting kicked out.’’ won 111 games during the regular season, but is in danger of collapsing in the first round. I think I got to it first. The crowd, standing on their feet most of the game, chanting “Beat LA! He tried to pull it out of my hand. They're threatening to pull one of the greatest postseason upsets in baseball history. It was like a mad dash to get to the ball. The Padres also could absolutely ruin the Dodgers’ dream season. “It’s really cool, especially finally getting to this point,’’ Padres first baseman Wil Myers said.

L.A. Times readers react to the Padres tying the NLDS with the Dodgers at 1-1, while columnist Bill Plaschke is criticized for his criticism.

He handed the game to the Browns. If he trusted his defense with a minute left why not force Cleveland to start deep in their own territory by punting the ball instead? One can get a serious case of whiplash watching Bill Plaschke jump on and off bandwagons based on the results of one game. While I wholeheartedly agree with the accolades for Bruins quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson by Bill Plaschke, it was no small matter that running back Zach Charbonnet’s 198-yard rushing performance was instrumental in setting up a lot of the Bruins’ touchdowns. If this were true, we’d be ripping the artificial turf out of every stadium in country. After some laughable roughing-the-passer calls, the NFL doubled down, announcing there’s “no backing down” on player safety. Why even play the regular season if a crummy team can get hot in October, win three measly games, and advance? Well-deserved Page 1 placement for both you and Times’ readers. Someone should collect a list of all the best times he sends a message to the players. The latter should bring up bad memories for Dodger fans. goes, wasn’t there a Manny Ramirez who played for the Dodgers? ::

Eso hizo que apareciera la parte superior del orden de los Dodgers, ampliamente considerado como el mejor trío de la liga. Los Dodgers dejaron un corredor en segunda base en la primera entrada, las bases llenas en la tercera, anotaron una carrera pero dejaron un corredor en segunda en la quinta y un corredor en segunda en la sexta. Con la posibilidad de añadir algo más, Bell se ponchó con dos corredores en juego. Machado caminó al comienzo de la tercera entrada, y Josh Bell se intercambió con él en una elección de jardinero. Los Padres amenazaron en la segunda, sacando a Gonsolin del partido tras sendos sencillos de Trent Grisham y Austin Nola. La carrera de los Dodgers llegó en el fly de sacrificio de Mookie Betts en la quinta entrada.

[Mookie Betts](http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33039/mookie-betts) momentarily silenced the crowd with a leadoff single, but Snell struck out the side to a massive ovation. Musgrove will be on the mound Saturday night in another big situation. Manager Dave Roberts had said the Dodgers hoped to get him to 75 pitches. They ended up losing the game and the World Series. Martinez retired the side. Long-suffering fans made up for that gap by filling the downtown ballpark and raucously supporting a franchise that has made only seven trips to the postseason in its 54 seasons. [San Diego Padres](/mlb/team/_/name/sd/san-diego-padres) fans had never seen a home playoff victory in person since Petco Park opened in 2004. Los Angeles went 14-5 against San Diego in the regular season, and it has defeated the Padres in nine straight series dating to 2021. San Diego won a home wild-card series against St. The four-time All-Star, who was acquired in an Aug. “I think anytime you hold a lineup like that down like we have here, that’s hard to do,” Melvin said. “There are going to be a lot of hoarse voices coming back tomorrow,” manager Bob Melvin said.

The division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres are set to meet in Game 4 of the best-of-five National League Division Series at Petco Park on ...

Runs will be hard to come by, but the Padres will edge out the juggernaut Dodgers and advance to the NLCS for the first time since 1998. [Los Angeles Dodgers](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/LAD/los-angeles-dodgers/) and [San Diego Padres](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/SD/san-diego-padres/) are set to meet in Game 4 of the best-of-five National League Division Series at Petco Park on Saturday. Earlier this postseason, Musgrove started the decisive Game 3 against the Anderson, the third lefty the Dodgers will have started in this series, made four starts against the Padres during the regular season and he thrived across those combined 24 innings: 1.88 ERA, no unearned runs allowed, 15 hits, 16 strikeouts, six walks, .502 OPS against. Historically, teams up 2-1 in the best-of-five Division Series, as the Padres are, have gone on to win that series almost 75 percent of the time. Now, let's get to the important stuff for Game 4.

LOS ANGELES -- With the Padres set to host a postseason game in front of their fans for the first time since 2006, Petco Park was always going to be rocking ...

Follow him on Twitter [@RhettBollinger](https://twitter.com/RhettBollinger) and [AJ Cassavell](mailto:[email protected]) covers the Padres for MLB.com. In those 39 series, the club heading home for Games 3 and 4 went on to advance 26 times (67%). Snell was pitching scoreless ball for the Rays at the time, but the Dodgers got to Tampa Bay’s bullpen and won the clincher. He leads the Padres with four extra-base hits in the postseason, including a pair in Game 2. Blake Treinen’s availability will depend on how he feels after pitching in Game 2 and whether the Dodgers trust that he can contribute in at least two of the remaining games in the series. On the other hand, the Dodgers will need more production out of Betts, who has just one hit in the NLDS. Dodgers: With a tough left-hander on the mound for the Padres, the Dodgers stacked the lineup with right-handed bats. Dodgers: The Dodgers are in a good position heading into the off-day. Gonsolin was excellent in the regular season, going 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA, but the righty dealt with a forearm strain down the stretch and went just two innings in his last start of the season on Oct. That means Jurickson Profar returns to the leadoff spot, having reached base at a .409 clip in the postseason. The Padres announced their decision to go with Snell on Tuesday, while the Dodgers waited till postgame Wednesday to announce their somewhat surprising decision to go with Gonsolin over lefty Tyler Anderson. The Padres last made the postseason in 2020, but the games were held at a crowdless Globe Life Field in Texas because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Continuing a recent trend, the Dodgers put themselves in premium run-scoring opportunities in Friday's Game 3 but failed to capitalize.

[Robert Suarez](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4148749/robert-suarez) nearly picked him off, causing Turner to jam his right ring finger against first base. The Dodgers won their last nine regular-season games against the Padres in 2021, then went 14-5 against them in 2022, scoring more than twice as many runs in the season series. The Dodgers, who will start left-hander [Tyler Anderson](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32151/tyler-anderson), must get past Musgrove and figure out a way to muster offense against a Padres bullpen that has limited their prestigious offense to nine baserunners and zero runs in 13 innings this series. "He looks like he has a large leg kick, but it's faster than you think, the times are pretty low. Turner retreated to the dugout to get taped -- postgame X-rays on his finger were negative -- then watched the Nos. "We're being hyper-aggressive early in counts and not staying on the ball," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Freeman, Smith and Muncy were due up next, but Turner, the fastest man in baseball, did not attempt the stolen base that would have put the tying run in scoring position. Now their dominant season -- of 111 wins and a plus-334 run-differential, tied for the fourth-largest in history -- is on the verge of ending at the hands of the same In the fifth, Betts contributed a sacrifice fly, but Turner popped out and Freeman grounded out, failing to get the tying run in from third base. "We're not stringing together a lot of at-bats to score runs." Their hitless streak in those situations has extended to 19 at-bats, tied for their longest rut of the season and marked their longest in a single playoff since 1981.

The Dodgers offense was a no-show for the second straight game, losing Game 3 of the NLDS against the Padres.

The Dodgers need to win Saturday to stay alive, and will send Tyler Anderson to the mound in Game 4 (6:07 p.m., FS1). But even with all that, in total, including Andrew Heaney for three innings and four pitchers after him, gave the Dodgers a chance to win. Nick Martinez was able to escape the jam, striking out Justin Turner with pitches down the middle, then getting Chris Taylor on a weak dribbler back to the mound. Martinez retired the two batters he faced. The Padres won another close one, beating Los Angeles 2-1 in Game 3 of the NLDS on Friday night at Petco Park. Snell got through 5⅓ innings, tied for his second-longest career outing against LA, throwing 96 pitches.

Every potential situation that I could come in off the bench, I’m fully expecting to get that at-bat.” But the dugouts at Petco Park are among the smallest in MLB to begin with. With two runners on and two outs in the eighth inning of Game 2 (with the Dodgers trailing by two runs), Roberts sent Austin Barnes up as a pinch-hitter to face left-handed closer Josh Hader.

Roberts replaced him with Heaney, who was sidelined with shoulder pain for half of the season and struggled to find himself once he came back. “It was a pretty good atmosphere to play in, they had a big say in what went on today too,” said Padres’ manager Bob Melvin of the fans. The Dodgers briefly quieted the crowd just three pitches into the game, when Betts grounded a single up the middle against Snell. Sometimes they chanted to the pounding of a drum. The Dodgers lost as they lost in Game 2, with horrendous hitting and shaky pitching. Meanwhile, outside the stadium, someone painted a mural with a giant goose entitled “San Diegoose.” Other times they chanted to the grinding of an organ. Also for one of the first times, the Dodgers seemed shaken by the surroundings. The Dodgers are now scoreless in 13 innings against a Padres bullpen that during the regular season did not rank among the game’s elite. In fact, with the Dodgers facing a must-win game in this frenzied environment, it’s looking seriously bad. They must win two in a row to advance to the NLCS. the team that plays the best baseball is going to win the series.

X-rays came back negative for Turner and he expects to play in the must-win game. Padres: Is anyone in the entire sport hotter at the plate than Grisham right now? Robert Suarez has emerged as the team’s primary set-up weapon, and he’d presumably be available for multiple innings as the bridge to closer Josh Hader. Dodgers: Everyone except for Andrew Heaney will be available for the Dodgers. Cody Bellinger should be back in center field and Gavin Lux will get the start at second base against the right-hander Musgrove. That leaves the Padres with a Wil Myers/Josh Bell decision.

In another of baseball’s endless and unique twists, the last time before Friday that the Padres hosted a playoff game with fans in attendance was on Oct. “We ended up getting in a little tussle, and I punched the kid,” Musgrove said. “They had a big say in what went on today, too,” Melvin said of the emotional lift the crowd provided. Musgrove said he and another kid stared at each other briefly before racing to retrieve the souvenir. Louis — and the San Diego leadoff hitter that day was Dave Roberts. The ultimate nightmare for Roberts, of course, would be if his team was eliminated by the Padres. The swirl of colors and noise was so chaotic that the players couldn’t even be sure what colors they saw. One of the things Manager Bob Melvin said upon taking the job last November was that he vividly recalled bringing his Oakland A’s to Petco Park midway through the 2021 season and being wholly impressed with a Tuesday night crowd of 40,000. Melvin pointed out that relievers Luis García, Robert Suarez and Hader each threw fastballs that were clocked in triple digits and “you don’t see 100 miles an hour often, especially out of three guys in a row. [fired the only no-hitter in Padres’ history](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/09/sports/baseball/joe-musgrove-padres-no-hitter.html), was set to start a potential clincher at home on Saturday night. Second baseman Jake Cronenworth, who lives downtown, heard more than his usual share of “Go Padres!” calls from fans as he zipped along on his scooter through the lively Gaslamp Quarter en route to the field. And if something went wrong there, a do-over awaited the Padres with Game 5 on Sunday in Los Angeles.

Andrew Heaney got out of a few jams against the San Diego Padres, but the home run he gave up to Trent Grisham overshadowed his NLDS Game 3 effort.

They must win two in a row to advance to the NLCS. Trea Turner said he jammed a finger on his right hand diving into first base in the eighth inning. “We feel like it’s a really deep bullpen, a lot of power arms pitching well toward the end of the season, into the postseason, and inspired even a little bit more so,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said. The Dodgers are hopeful Turner will play Saturday. They haven’t given up a run since Game 2 of the NL wild-card series against the Mets, throwing 16 scoreless innings since Sunday. “Yeah, I mean, I’m always gonna challenge the zone, but that one just caught too much plate,” Heaney said. “I knew my role was going to be kind of that early long relief, so I was prepared for that,” Heaney, 31, said. Dodgers catcher Will Smith grabbed the ball and tagged Profar for an out, Austin Nola taking second. “You’re seeing a lot of 100-mph pitches from us. A success, it wasn’t. And stressful. And eventful.

San Diego pushed L.A. to the brink in NLDS Game 3 behind a masterful bullpen performance.

Roberts’ chose of words spoke as loudly as the Petco Park fans, who for the first time since the ballpark opened in 2004 got to see in person their Padres win a postseason game at home. Since the goose landed in the eighth inning of that game, the Padres have held the lead after the end of every inning. In Game 3, Turner was indecisive on a routine grounder with an out at second base on a force; he recovered, awkwardly, to get the out. Now they are in danger of joining the company of the 1906 Cubs, who based on winning percentage, suffered the biggest upset in postseason history by losing the World Series to the White Sox. In one delicious bit of theatre, when the lineup turned over a third time against Snell— starting with Mookie Betts—the Dodgers faced the same intersection they did in 2020 World Series Game 6. Turner is one of the fastest baserunners and has a career stolen base success rate of 85%. Padres relievers have obtained 39 outs in this series without allowing a run to cross the plate. In Game 2 his error on a routine grounder led to a critical run. It held like reinforced steel to get the ball to Hader. The Padres won NLDS Game 3 Friday night, 2-1, with another impressive display of baseball at its cleanest, especially when it comes to relief pitching. 1 – just hours after Preller signed Luis Garcia, a reliever from the Dominican Republic who was turning 35, had been released twice and would be pitching for his eighth organization.
