Padres drop series to Dodgers as free passes undercut King at Petco
The Padres couldn’t capitalize late and slipped to a series loss against the Dodgers at Petco Park on June 28. Michael King limited L.A. to three hits but issued four walks and hit two batters, and those free passes came around to hurt San Diego [1].The lineup finished 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position. The best chance came in the eighth: Manny Machado opened with a double, Ty France was hit by a pitch, Xander Bogaerts struck out and Miguel Andújar bounced into a 5-4-3 double play to end the threat [1].The Pads head out Monday to open a road trip at the Cubs before seeing the Dodgers again later in the week [1][2].
