Game Preview
The Los Angeles Dodgers are eager to transform their regular-season triumphs into postseason success, and they’re on track—at least for now. As they prepare for Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres on Sunday night, the Dodgers are fresh off a 7-5 victory in the series opener, which mirrored their record-setting performance during the regular season.
In his playoff debut, Shohei Ohtani launched a three-run homer and contributed to the Dodgers’ win, helping them snap a six-game postseason losing streak. The Dodgers’ bullpen was impressive, shutting out the Padres for the last six innings of the game.
Before the playoffs, Ohtani confidently stated he felt no nerves. He demonstrated his calm demeanor during the game, contributing with a broken-bat single and scoring twice, although he did strike out twice.
After falling behind 3-0 in the first inning—an all-too-familiar scenario following last year’s postseason disappointments—the Dodgers rallied with a two-run single from Teoscar Hernandez in the fourth, never looking back.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praised his team’s fighting spirit, noting the bullpen’s critical support and the relentless offense.
For Game 2, the Dodgers will send right-hander Jack Flaherty to the mound. Flaherty, acquired from the Detroit Tigers, had a solid season with a combined 13-7 record and a 3.17 ERA. He has faced the Padres six times in his career, posting a 2-1 record with a 4.45 ERA.
The Padres will counter with Yu Darvish, a former Dodger who has experience with high-pressure playoff situations. Darvish has been effective against Ohtani, holding him to one hit in five at-bats, with two strikeouts.
Despite taking an early lead with a three-run first inning, the Padres’ offense stagnated, a trend they’ll need to reverse to keep their playoff hopes alive. Fernando Tatis Jr. emphasized the importance of outscoring the Dodgers moving forward.
