Game 48 Thread: May 18 @ Padres, 6.40p

Yoshinobu Yamamoto (3-3, 3.60) vs. Michael King (3-2, 2.63).

47 games into this season, and the Dodgers haven't yet faced the team that looks to be our prime division rival in 2026, the San Diego Padres. Heading into tonight's opener with Yoshinobu Yamamoto should give us some confidence, but Michael King isn't a pushover. And I'm sure the Petco Park faithful will be ready to cheer on their team. Let's see how this boss battle goes.
