The Padres-Dodgers rivalry has picked up in recent years as San Diego has established itself as a contender in the National League. That peaked last postseason, when the Padres beat the Dodgers in the NLDS.
This weekend, the two teams faced off for the first time since that playoff series, and San Diego struck first with a 5-2 win. Fernando Tatis Jr. led the way, as the outfielder slugged two home runs off Clayton Kershaw in the game.
