On a cool partly cloudy day in San Diego, the Padres came from behind and defeated the Dodgers 4 – 3. This game had it all, homer, triples, doubles, good pitching and suspense. From a baseball fan perspective, this was one of those games that can fire up a ballclub. Padres’ P Kevin Correia battled Dodgers’ P Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers were in control of the game until the 8th. Though, the Bums have many opportunities to put away the Padres and never did so. As the Padres hung around and 1B Adrian Gonzalez blasted a solo shot to left centerfield, that awoken the crowd and Padres. 3B Edgar Gonzalez ripped a blast to the deepest part of the ballpark for a triple and the fans were hollering with excitement. Eventually, C Nick Hundley drove in pinch runner SS Everth Cabrera with the tying run. But the Padres were not finished, as SS Luis Rodriguez smacked a double to right center, scoring Hundley from 1st with the go ahead run. In the top of the 9th, Dodgers’ 2B Orlando Hudson smacked a triple to lead off the inning and those Dodgers fans were dancing in the stands. Next, came up Dodgers’ LF Manny Ramirez and Bell managed to get Ramirez to ground out to shortstop. After a walk to Dodgers’ RF Andre Ethier, Heath Bell got Dodgers’ C Russell Martin to hit into ending 4-6-3 double-play. Padres Win ! Padres Win !
