The newly acquired star of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, took a heavy beating in his one inning of work. Yamamoto walked two batters and gave up five runs on four hits in 43 pitches. The Padres took a 5-0 lead after this.
As the game entered the fourth inning, the score was 9-6, with four runs scored by each team. With three runs each in the following three innings, the score reached 12–9. The momentum swung to the Dodgers in the bottom of the eighth as they scored twice more, pulling within a run (12-11).
But the game was decided when Manny Machado hit a three-run home run off JP Feyereisen in the top of the ninth inning, bringing the score to 15-11. Suarez, the Padres’ closer, denied the Dodgers any chance of a comeback by turning down their hits.
