Two of the four games in the series between the Dodgers and Padres have been determined by two runs or less, while the other two were one-sided — each side coming away with one decisive victory. In Game 4, the Dodgers put up eight runs, the Padres none.
Coming off short rest, Padres starter Dylan Cease gave up three runs in the first two innings, including a home run in the first inning to no-longer-slumping Mookie Betts.
Nearly every Dodger contributed to the win at the plate, including future Hall of Famer Shohei Ohtani, who had an RBI single in the second inning to go with a pair of walks. Freddie Freeman was a late scratch for Game 4, but Los Angeles didn’t need him.
