Margot’s homer not enough as 3 run 5th dooms Padres

On August 3, 2019 the Padres took the loss against the Dodgers in the third of a four-game series. The Padres have one more chance tomorrow to split the series with LA.

Starting on the mound today was Cal Quantrill. Pitching a flawless first three innings, he couldn’t make it last. The Dodgers scored four runs off him in the 4^th and 5^th innings. Michel Baez came in for two innings and kept the dodgers off the board. Matt Strahm finished the game in the 9^th innings, not giving up a hit or a run.

The Padres bats were quiet tonight only getting 5 hits and one run. The one run came from Manuel Margot who hit a home run in the top of the 8^th. Giving the fans a glimmer of hope, the game ended quickly after that with a final score of 4-1, Dodgers.
