What a comeback. Thank goodness they have a day off to decompress.  Kudos to Hill and Melancon. And finally a sac fly when we needed it. Way to go Hosmer

Nice to see it's not just us having trouble with men LOB and bases loaded.

Hope you were able to stay up Mr P , I live in Michigan so I know about late night west coast games. If not I understand when it looked hopeless.

Why take the bunt off for Weathers?  I love the way this team plays, but man, they are terrible in extra innings getting the runner in from third.

THIS is the dominant question in my mind!

You can tell I'm a lifelong Padres' fan by how many troublesome things I see even in the face of a GREAT series win (how did THAT happen??? :-)) ...

- Mateo not playing well ... time to see what O'Grady can do?

- Croney struggling ... was something like 0-for-20 before getting a couple of hits tonight

- Manny sure has looked good at the plate and in the field ... and then he has an awful AB in the top of the 11th with no outs and go ahead run on 3rd (pops out)

- Tatis was only charged with 1 E tonight ... but it sure looked to me like he made 2 ... I liked the 2 walks he took tonight, those were encouraging

- Profar is hitting below hopes/expectations

- Pham finally gets a few good games at the plate ... and now he's tweek'd a calf ...

Padres got more than their share of breaks and calls vs Dodgers ... man, that was FUN!

13-11 ... every team in the NL West has a + run differential!  2021 is fun ...

I almost went to bed when they went up 7-1.

But I made it all 5+hours thank goodness.....but I’m tired now!

I need a day off as much as the team I think.

I feel for you east coast guys. I've been in the DC area for a few days and trying to stay up to catch the Padres games has been rough. Seeing them take 3 of 4 from the Dodgers has made it worth it though.

The Dodgers have activated second baseman Gavin Lux and right-hander Dennis Santana from the injured list, placed left-hander David Price on the 10-day IL with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, and recalled righty Mitch White, per Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. The club also optioned lefty Garrett Cleavinger and outfielder DJ Peters.

Did any of you see any indication that Price would go on the IL today? Hmmm ...

Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am exhausted.

Great effort by the Padres on the never give up comeback.

Unbelieveable!!   1st time in > 100 years in MLB...  Visiting team down by 6+ runs in 7th inning+ to a team >.700 win % has come back to win a game...   my 2 hrs "extra" recording time ended right when Kershaw was batting with bases loaded & 1 out.

Couldn't believe we pulled it out.  More than makes up for Game 1 of season series loss to LAD that we SHOULD have had; LAD should have won this game 10 different times.

Now team has to rest & do the not easy step of putting it in the rearview & not letting down emotionally... won't be easy.

Yes....now we go on a stretch against teams we should beat.

No let down.

Need to start chalking up wins to keep pace as you know the Dodgers will.

Just win each series and we will be fine although a nice 7 game win streak would sure be nice too.
