The Los Angeles Dodgers traded home runs and defensive miscues with the San Diego Padres, suffering a 5-3 loss to send the National League Division Series tied to Petco Park this weekend.

Making his first postseason start since the 2020 World Series, Clayton Kershaw wasn’t sharp but managed to get through five innings and exited with the game tied. He surrendered a solo home run to Manny Machado in the first inning, and was hurt again by the Padres’ All-Star when he tied the game with an RBI double in the third.

Making his first postseason start since the 2020 World Series, Clayton Kershaw wasn’t sharp but managed to get through five innings and exited with the game tied. He surrendered a solo home run to Manny Machado in the first inning, and was hurt again by the Padres’ All-Star when he tied the game with an RBI double in the third.

Darvish was chased from the game after Will Smith’s leadoff single and Muncy drove a long base hit to the wall in right field that put runners at the corners with nobody out in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Robert Suarez got the Padres out of the jam by striking out Justin Turner and inducing Gavin Lux into a double play. That protected a 4-3 lead they had taken in large part due to a Trea Turner error in the top of the sixth.

Brusdar Graterol induced a bevy of soft contact but two one went for a leadoff single, another was a grounder booted by Turner, and a third saw Jurickson Profar’s chopper get through the right side of the infield for an RBI base hit.

The Dodgers had another opportunity in the bottom of the seventh inning with two runners in scoring position and one out, and the bases loaded with two away. Suarez again worked out of trouble to keep San Diego ahead.

Jake Cronenworth provided the Padres with some insurance on a solo home run against Blake Treinen in the eighth inning.

The Dodgers had two on against Josh Hader in the bottom of the eighth when Cody Bellinger was pinch-hit for by Austin Barnes. The decision was rather curious considering Chris Taylor and Miguel Vargas were conceivably available off the bench as well.

Barnes flied out and the Dodgers stranded Freeman’s two-out double in the ninth inning.

The Padres have now won their last seven road games with Darvish on the mound. Game 4 of the NLDS is locked in for Saturday.
