Clayton Kershaw vs. some Padre who will undoubtedly have the game of his life.
The Dodgers are now in second place, looking up at the Padres, thanks to a woeful run since the All-Star Break juxtaposed with a peaking San Diego team (8-2 over their last ten). With our loss Wednesday, yet another game in which we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and got season-swept by the lowly Angels, the Dodgers look completely hopeless in the bullpen and mostly impotent from the plate.
Reinforcements aren't coming in these last ~40 games. Either we step up, or we're done.

6:15p, and I'm nervous.
Max Muncy to the IL.
Okay kids, I'm sitting in front of the tv for this one. Let's GO!
Kershaw gets two Ks in a scoreless first!
Padres go with an opener, Peralta. He's got a full count on Shohei.
Long fly out for Ohtani but right at the center fielder Jackson Merrill. One out.
1-2-3 inning for Peralta.
Padres get a solo shot in the second.
Our offense looks like shit but at least we had a 1-2-3 inning behind Kershaw in the third.
1-0 SD, mid-3
Saturday NYT crossword: 24:34 while watching the game.
Conforto...with a leadoff single in the third?! Crazy
Now Freeland with a base hit? NUTS
Two on, none out.
Rojas with a HORRIBLE bunt pop-up, and Machado dove for it and dropped it. INSANE
Ohtani does not look good at the plate, especially on pitches away.
But Ohtani with a RBI groundout. Dodgers at the corners, Mookie up.
Orel thinks they should send Ohtani.
Betts with a sac fly to deep center. Ball was out of the zone, too--great hitting from Mookie.
2-1 LA
Man we needed that from Teo. Wow.
3-1 LA
Vesia is not strong. He loads the bases and then gives up a sac fly to make it 3-2. Two out, T8, two Padres on.
Treinen gets Machado to pop out on the first pitch, to end the inning.
3-2 LA, mid-8
Orel and Joe are commenting, and it is really weird that Diaz is on the mound and no one is cheering. He gets Boegarts and Loriano on Ks, bookending a single by Jackson Merrill. So it's two outs, Merrill on first. And here's Jack Dreyer.
I am clenched.
WIN!
