6/4/2023 0 Comments Dodgers play by play![]() ![]() against Joe Musgrove, and first pitch is scheduled for 9:07 p.m. Framed another way, just 26.9 percent of teams down 2-1 in the LDS have come back to win said LDS.įor the Dodgers, the first step toward defying the odds and history comes in Game 4 on Saturday. In the history of the best-of-five League Division Series, a team has taken a 2-1 lead in the series 67 times, and 49 of those teams up 2-1 went on to win the series. Not surprisingly, the Padres are in a good position being up 2-1 in a best-of-five series. Suffice it to say, the Dodgers are a couple of timely hits away from this series being very different. In Game 3, they went 0 for 9 with RISP, and that means they're now 0 for their last 19 in such spots. The Dodgers on Friday night came up empty in RISP situations for a second straight game. The Dodgers again struggled with runners in scoring position Most important is that the Padres probably wouldn't be in their current situation without Grisham's October power surge. Only 1998 Jim Leyritz had more, with 4- Sarah Langs October 15, 2022Īt minimum, he'll have at least two more games to tie or break Jim Leyritz's record. ![]() Trent Grisham’s 3 HR are tied with 1998 Greg Vaughn & 1996 Ken Caminiti for 2nd-most in a single postseason in Padres history ![]() Through the first two games of the NLDS against the Dodgers, Grisham didn't do much, but he rediscovered his first-round power strike in the fourth inning of Game 3: 8 hitter Trent Grisham endured a pretty rough regular season at the plate, but he was huge in the Wild Card Series upset over the Mets, as he homered twice in three games. Trent Grisham continued with his postseason fireworks Now for those updated numbers for the NLDS: 13 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 15 SO, 4 BB. Once again, the San Diego relief corps rose to the challenge and did so against one of the best offenses in MLB. Then in the crucial Game 3, that same pen was tasked with protecting a one-run lead for 11 outs – including Nick Martinez in the sixth inheriting a runner in scoring position with one out. Through the first two games of this series, the San Diego bullpen put up these digits: 9 1/3 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 9 SO, 4 BB. Even with the off day before Game 3 and the first-round bye, the L.A. Through the first two games of this series, the Dodgers dialed up eight relief appearances and eight relief innings. Over that span he allowed one run on four hits with one strikeout and one walk. Roberts had a leash of 75 pitches or so planned for Gonsolin in Game 3, but he was able to last for just 42 pitches and 1 1/3 innings. Things could have gotten worse in the second, but Gonsolin was able to escape disaster thanks in part to a Jurickson Profar bunt attempt gone wrong. He endured a 31-pitch first inning, and Dave Roberts was moved to get Andrew Heaney warming up in that first frame. The command was badly lacking, and Gonsolin's fastball velocity was down a tick or so (just as it was against Colorado in his last start). In Game 3 on Friday night, he wasn't himself. Thanks to a forearm injury, Gonsolin missed more than a month down the stretch and only returned in time to make an abbreviated start against the Rockies on Oct. Tony Gonsolin wasn't able to give the Dodgers much The winner of this series will advance to the NLCS to face the winner of the Philadelphia Phillies-Atlanta Braves NLDS. On offense, Trent Grisham hit his third home run of the 2022 postseason. Padres starter Blake Snell gutted out 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball, and the San Diego bullpen continued to put zeroes on the board. That means the Padres are one win from eliminating the Dodgers, who won a franchise-record 111 games during the regular season. With the win in Game 3 of the National League Division Series, the Padres took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. In the San Diego Padres' first home playoff game with fans since 2006, the hosts gave the crowd a thrill as the Padres edged the Los Angeles Dodgers by a score of 2-1. ![]()
