The Dodgers were down to their final out in the ninth inning when Mookie Betts decided to take matters into his own hands.
Betts’ game-tying home run off Josh Hader in the ninth inning, and clutch hits by Michael Busch and James Outman in the 10th inning, led the Dodgers to a 5-2 victory over the San Diego Padres before an announced crowd of 43,994 at Petco Park.
After an automatic runner was placed on second base to begin the 10th, Busch singled to left field against Brent Honeywell to drive in the Dodgers’ third run of the game. The next batter, Outman, crushed a two-run home run into the right field corner to cap the scoring.The Padres have not beaten the Dodgers in the rubber match of a three-game series since May 2018.
Urías walked one batter and struck out three. Although he allowed eight hits to match a season high, the official scorer could easily have cut that number in half by awarding errors on shaky Dodgers’ fielders. And the Padres did not have a hit with a runner in scoring position after the first inning.
