Dodgers Tie Padres After Sunday's Blowout Win

Dodgers avoid sweep, tie Padres for NL West lead! A disastrous five-run seventh inning, fueled by two home runs, undid strong pitching performances from Padres starter Nick Pivetta and Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Despite a home run from Elias Diaz, San Diego's bullpen faltered, allowing the Dodgers to surge ahead, capped off by Shohei Ohtani's 45th homer of the season. With identical records, the Dodgers now hold the tiebreaker, putting pressure on the Padres as they head to Seattle with 31 games remaining.
