Padres' only run comes on a groundout; Dodgers hit three homers, score game's final six runs
A nearly bursting Petco Park hardly ever rose above more than a constant buzz.
Martinez ended up walking off the mound in the third pumping his fists and yelling in celebration after an inning-ending double play grounder hit by Turner.“Kicking myself in the ass a lot out there and falling behind guys and putting myself in bad situations,” Martinez said. The hardest ball put in play by a Padres batter this season reached the base of the right field wall and bounced to Betts so quickly that all Hosmer could do was get to first base while Profar was held up at third.
To those who descended on Petco Park for the first of what is already assured to be three sellouts, especially those wearing brown, it’s a little bigger than the average series. “They’ve been going hard at it,” manager Bob Melvin explained. “It was a short spring. I don’t know how many teams play 14 in a row . So we are definitely going to give these guys an extra day. And I’m sure they’ll be happy for it.”
