The San Diego Padres staged a four-run rally against relievers Craig Kimbrel and Yency Almonte in the ninth to beat the Dodgers 4-2 at Dodger Stadium.
gave up the deciding runs, blowing his third save out of the last seven opportunities after Jake Cronenworth reached on a line drive that drilled Kimbrel in the back, Luke Voit hit a game-tying double off the top of the wall in left and Eric Hosmer hit a go-ahead single into right.
The Dodgers then failed in a last-gasp comeback attempt, bringing the tying run to the plate twice in the game’s final two at-bats but failing to capitalize on a day they stranded 11 men on base.“Unfortunately,” manager Dave Roberts said, “we couldn’t put them away at the end there.” “There was thought [to taking him out],” Roberts said. “But a guy like that, when he says he’s good to go and throws some pitches, we liked what we saw.”
Kimbrel didn’t throw another pitch, exiting alongside a trainer as Almonte was summoned from the bullpen. “I think he’s earned that,” Roberts said, adding that given the other injuries in the bullpen, keeping Kimbrel in the ninth inning is “still pretty easy.”They extended their division lead from 1 ½ games to 3 ½ games.With Mookie Betts’ return near, Dodgers set off early fireworks to beat Padres again
