Dodgers come back in bullpen game for both teams; Manny Machado leaves eight men on base
But the plastic and champagne and goggles will remain in storage at least one more day, as the Padres could not beat the team they will eventually need to win a series against if their season is to be truly successful.The Dodgers beat the Padres 5-2 Thursday night at Petco Park, taking their ninth consecutive series between the teams and putting off any celebration in the home clubhouse until at least Saturday.
The Phillies lead the Brewers by a half-game and have one more game to play than the Padres and Brewers. Any combination of Padres’ wins and Phillies’ losses adding up to five means the Padres earn the fifth of six NL playoff spots. The Padres also started Brandon Dixon, a 30-year-old called up from Triple-A on Tuesday, as their designated hitter. Dixon last played in the major leagues in 2020, when he went 1-for-13 with the Cubs.
“We played good,” Jurickson Profar said. “But there were some situations that we didn’t capitalize. ... To beat those guys, I think you gotta add on. And we had opportunities to add on.” Manaea, who had thrown a scoreless inning of relief against the Dodgers on Sept. 10 but allowed them 23 runs over 12 2/3 innings in his three starts against them this season, would get through the rest of his four innings unscathed.
