Padres Announce Jackson Merrill News After Leaving Dodgers Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Diego Padres have put together a strong second half that has put the NL West within reach, currently owning a 69–54 record and sitting just one game back of the division lead behind the Los Angeles Dodgers entering Sunday.

The Los Angeles Dodgers swept the San Diego Padres in the three-game series at Dodger Stadium. Yu Darvish gave up four runs in the first inning, and the Padres were left clawing back and did so, tying the game up at four in the eighth inning. However, Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts then hit a go-ahead home run that clinched the series.
