First Five Innings<\/h4>\n

Game Two seemed like a must-win for the Padres, who wanted to stave off an elimination game. They started quickly, as Fernando Tatis Jr.<\/a><\/strong> launched a solo shot against Flaherty in the top of the first. In the top of the second, the Padres struck again. David Peralta<\/strong><\/a> mashed a two-run home run to extend the lead. The Dodgers got one back in the bottom half of the inning with a Gavin Lux<\/a><\/strong> sacrifice fly to score Teoscar Hernandez<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Homer Happy<\/h4>\n

In the sixth, Jackson Merrill<\/a><\/strong> hit an RBI single to score Tatis to make it 4\u20131. In the seventh inning, the game had to be paused due to fans throwing baseballs, trash, and other objects at Jurickson Profar<\/a><\/strong> and Tatis. It lit a spark for the Padres. In the eighth, Merrill hit a two-run home run to extend the lead, and Xander Bogaerts<\/strong><\/a> hit a solo shot to go back-to-back. Kyle Higashioka<\/strong><\/a> mashed a solo home run at the top of the ninth, and Tatis slammed a two-run home run. Max Muncy<\/a><\/strong> hit a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth. The Padres cleaned up the Dodgers, tying the series at one apiece.<\/p>\n
