Five-run explosion in seventh inning leads Padres past rival Dodgers; Cronenworth's two-run hit brings in winning run as San Diego advances to NLCS vs. Phillies
And then, bedlam.sent their downtown ballpark and all of their city into a frenzy with a five-run seventh inning Saturday night that propelled them to a 5-3 victory over the hated Dodgers that clinched a trip to the National League Championship Series.
The fateful inning began with the Padres down 3-0 and having not scored since the fourth inning on Friday. With the crowd chanting his name, Ha-Seong Kim grounded a two-strike double down the left field line to score Grisham and move Nola to third. With the crowd chanting, “Beat L.A.,” Juan Soto followed with a line drive single that tied the game before Almonte struck out Manny Machado and got Brandon Drury on a pop fly that Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman caught in front of the steps to the Padres dugout.
After Robert Suarez retired the Dodgers in order in the top of the inning, the grounds crew essentially covered the mound and batter’s boxes with fresh clay. The infield was starting to hold water as the Padres batted.The mound was again repaired before Padres closer Josh Hader warmed up for the ninth, and the area near first base was doctored as Hader warmed up.He struck out Mookie Betts and Trea Turner. With the crowd in a full-throated “Beat L.A.,” he struck out Freddie Freeman.
It would be almost three hours later before the Padres really gave them something to get excited about for more than a minute. Save for Nola being up with runners at first and second and two outs in the second inning and Wil Myers being up in the same situation in the sixth, the biggest noise midgame came from the relatively tiny contingent of Dodgers fans in attendance. It was the first time they were heard from in the two games here.
