The Padres have been one of baseball's hottest teams for weeks, but they'll need to find a bit more gas to get past the Dodgers in their NL Division Series.
Game 1 Saturday saw lead changes in each of the first four innings, with the Dodgers ultimately prevailing 7-5. Shohei Ohtani's postseason debut was on-brand, with the superstar blasting a three-run homer in the second and scoring again in the fourth as the Dodgers went back on top for good.
That leaves the Padres in a precarious situation entering Game 2 as they face the possibility of going home down 0-2 in the best-of-five series.
San Diego will send its most experienced starter to the mound Sunday, with Yu Darvish (7-3, 3.31 ERA) getting the ball. Los Angeles will counter with trade-deadline acquisition Jack Flaherty (13-7, 3.17), who was originally slated to start Game 1 before a late switch to Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
