Days after losing the Juan Soto trade-deadline sweepstakes to the Padres, the Dodgers sweep the San Diego Padres to reaffirm their NL West dominance.
As in posing another empty challenge in the National League West.Entering the weekend, the Padres were the biggest story in baseball, following a massive trade deadline centered on their blockbuster acquisition of Juan Soto.
As they’d done after their victories on Friday and Saturday, the Dodgers downplayed the significance of this weekend’s meeting, in which they extended their winning streak to eight and improved to 8-2 against the Padres this season.It’s still only August, after all. The Padres, who remain without star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., still aren’t at full strength.
“You always want to win divisional games,” said Freddie Freeman, who had two RBIs on Sunday. “And we took care of business this series.” “It’s just like we’re on their neck the whole game,” Roberts said. “When they make a mistake, we’re ready to capitalize.”“Given the circumstances,” Roberts said, “I think it was up there.”Home runs by Will Smith and Max Muncy propel the Dodgers to their seventh consecutive victory and a series win over the San Diego Padres.The Padres , on the other hand, suffered one of their most disheartening displays.
Yet, the gap between them and the Dodgers only continued to grow, with Roberts’ current team again swatting away their latest challenger in the NL West.
