The Padres built two early leads only to watch the Dodgers come back each time to win Game 1 of the National League Division Series.
In the 2022 National League Division Series the Dodgers won Game 1, then the Padres took the next three. San Diego will have to try and follow a similar pattern this year.The Dodgers slugger hit a 3-run homer in his playoffs debut to help the Dodgers come from behind and top the Padres 7-5 in Game 1 of the National League Division Series. These longtime rivals staged the very definition of a seesaw battle.
Ohtani, playing in the first postseason game of his already storied career, unloaded on a fastball at the top of the zone, ripping it 111 MPH over the right field wall for a game-tying 3-run homer.The entire series will probably be like this, each team taking turns making comebacks. Tatis Jr. led off with a double to left-centerfield but the best at-bat of the inning might have come from rookie Jackson Merrill.
Cease only got one out in the 4th inning before Edman laid down a bunt single and Rojas lined a single to left, putting two runners on again for Ohtani. Padres manager Mike Shildt replaced Cease with left-hander Adrian Morejon. For the season Ohtani had an .867 OPS against lefties while demolishing right-handers with an 1.128 OPS.
The first four innings were so eventful they took just about four hours to play. After that the game reverted to something resembling normal baseball. The Dodgers got another one in the 5th inning thanks to a throwing error by Machado, running the L.A. lead up to 7-5.
