Sometimes things get a little fuzzy when you spend an evening in the pub. Here’s a friendly reminder of what you might have missed while you were drinking.
The Padres (32-42) #BeatLA last night with a 3-run ninth inning comeback win against the Los Angeles Dodgers (40-35) at PETCO Park. Seth Smith had two solo home runs, a double, and a walk. Everth Cabrera hit a sacrifice fly ball to right field to score Alexi Amarista in the ninth.
Ian Kennedy started for the Friars, lasting five innings with five strikeouts while giving up all five Dodgers runs on seven hits and two walks. Dodgers’ starter Dan Haren pitched 5 2/3 innings, surrendering three run on five hits and two walk with five strikeouts.
Tonight, Tyson Ross (6-6, 3.27) takes the mound against Josh Beckett (4-4, 2.49) at 7:10 pm PDT in the second game of the three-game series. It’s “Beat L.A.” T-shirt Night. So everyone in attendance has that going for them. Which is nice.

Quotes
“It was as pure emotion as you’ll see at any level.”
Jake Goebbert on his first Major League hit and RBI (Laws)
“This has been a tough week for us, for San Diego. When you look at the whole week, more so than the game, it’s good to win. It’s good to win for the city. It’s good to play a good game and get an emotional win.”
Bud Black (Sanders)
“With all due respect, it’s Seth Smith, not Babe Ruth. He hit like Babe Ruth tonight. He’s hit me well in the past.”
Dan Haren (Gurnick)

50 pitches through 1 2/3. That's not good. #analysis

Two Coleman Stars so far tonight diving play Peterson, and then Denorfia to save run in 2nd. #ohdoctor

WTF was that Puig montage @FOXSportsSD? This is San Diego NOT LA.
— Michael Nooris (@MichaelNooris) June 21, 2014
Wtf was that poo-pig vignette you just played? I thought @FOXSportsSD was supposed to be the padres broadcast.

Vin Scully says "jolly" is the one word he'd use to describe Tony. And if Vin says it, so be it. #PPLive

Maybe eyesight is Padres' problem at plate. Three guys taken called third strikes and Pitch F/X showed all three were clear strikes.

Don't you think FSSD's pregame set looks great in this alternate location? Psst. Read this: http://t.co/gPCvtMD5HZ

Thought someone pressed the wrong button. Brian Giles’ “Thunderstruck” montage is playing from ca. 2007. It’s the Video Vault apparently.

“just need a bloop and a blast” [Cabrera tries to bunt] “fuck!”

Seth Smith has 7 home runs this season, but ten of them vs. the Dodgers.
— DodgerzGM (@DodgerzGM) June 21, 2014
I guess the idea was that the rest of the lineup was supposed to hit.

For a team with a 200 bazillion dollar payroll the Dodgers have a lot of scrubs on their team. Tops on the list: this guy on the mound.

That's the first time a sac bunt (Sac Bunt?) has ever made sense. #PPLive
