On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers will look to split the series against the San Diego Padres after an unexpected loss in Game 1. It was a hard-fought game with several frustrating moments for the team. The boys in blue squandered their 5-0 lead despite having a great start to the game.
All five runs came in the first two innings, but the defense turned out to be a disaster as they surrendered six runs to the Padres. Donovan Solano walked it off for the Padres as they entered the 10th inning.
Veteran pitcher Clayton Kershaw will be sent to the mound in Game 2. Kershaw will pitch his second game of the season after his long-lasting injury. The southpaw seems to be the right choice for the team to rebound from their last defeat. However, the bullpen will need to hold it down, and the offense must score in return.
