Plaschke: Excitement over Dodgers' resiliency fades in series-tying loss to Padres
The only beauty in the late darkness occurred in the eighth inning, when a goose suddenly alighted on the Dodger Stadium right-center field grass then flew around while briefly avoiding groundskeeper capture.
After Clayton Kershaw kept the score at 3-all after five innings, the Padres took a 4-3 lead against Brusdar Graterol in the sixth inning on the botched grounder by Trea Turner and an RBI single by Jurickson Profar. They should have at least tied the game in the sixth after Will Smith led off with a grounder off the glove of second baseman Jake Cronenworth and Max Muncy followed with a line drive off the base of the right-field wall. But, while Smith ran to third on the drive, Muncy inexplicably stopped at first.
San Diego’s Jake Cronenworth celebrates after hitting a solo home run during the eighth inning in Game 2 of the NLDS on Wednesday.
