Shocking Surrender: Dodgers Shock Baseball World by Bowing Out Relentlessly Early Against Padres
Then, in the face of a nine-run deficit in the bottom of the sixth, they sent position player Kiké Hernández to the mound to pitch the rest of the game.
The Dodgers’ decision to pack it in was rooted in logic.
They are currently operating with only four healthy starting pitchers. Their equally banged-up bullpen is leading the majors in innings, and was coming off five frames of work in an extra-inning win the night before. And by the time Hernández took the mound in the sixth, the game had long been lost, the Padres teeing off on Sauer with three runs in the third inning, single scores in the fourth and fifth, and a four-spot in the sixth.
