Under-pressure Dodgers will look to level the series when they face Padres in Game 2 on Saturday at Petco Park.

That’s because here, at Petco Park, they have consistently bottled successful baseball. Only one team, the league-leading Milwaukee Brewers, has a better winning percentage at home. The Padres have not lost a series in the East Village since the second week of June, when the Dodgers took two of three games.

Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts revealed L.A. is set to get some help, as Kike Hernandez and Hyeseong Kim are close to returning from injury.

It's a shame the Dodgers and Padres won't end the regular season against one another because the NL West title could still be in play 31 games from now.

The Dodgers are up against the Padres in a crucial series and Dave Roberts made a crucial announcement before the game.

Los Angeles Dodgers veteran Mookie Betts is staying at shortstop for now as Dave Roberts confirmed he's not quite ready to make that move.

Then Betts rescued the Dodgers with the 394-foot shot to left-center off Robert Suarez. It was the shortstop’s 13th homer of the season and just his fifth since June. Betts had 25 in 2022 and 39 in 2023.
