Owners of MLB's best record in the second half, the Padres on Tuesday exhibited why they're built to win a World Series.
SAN DIEGO — It felt appropriate when Blink 182's Tom DeLonge roamed the stands in a live performance in the eighth inning Tuesday night and invited a record crowd of 47,744 raucous fans at Petco Park to join along in singing his song, which has turned into a celebratory anthem at 19 Tony Gwynn Dr. The Dodgers had one big blast, but the Padres did all the small things.
Even without Joe Musgrove, they possess starting pitchers capable of spinning gems, as Yu Darvish did with seven innings of one-run ball in Game 2. The off-field antics from Sunday night at Dodger Stadium raised the temperature level of the series but also took the attention off the actual results of the contest, which was an absolute bludgeoning by a Padres offense that became the first team in MLB history to launch six homers in a road playoff game.
