Well, it wasn’t always pretty, but after 8 ½ innings, the Dodgers finished off the San Diego Padres and completed a 3-game sweep of the Friars. The Dodgers limped back home after getting swept by LAA to face the red hot Padres. The Padres had taken a 1 game lead in the NL West and things looked fairly ominous.
Of course the Dodgers wanted a sweep, but going into the series, I think they would have been fine with a series win of 2-1 and leaving town in a tie for the NL West.
Clayton Kershaw started Game 1 and went a solid 6.0 innings. He allowed 1 run on a Ramón Laureano HR that hit the foul pole. Alex Vesia continued his struggles by hitting two batters, allowing a sac bunt, a BB, and a Sac Fly, before exiting and Blake Treinen throwing 1 pitch to get Manny Machado to pop out. 5 relievers in total pitched in game 1 while allowing a single run.
Blake Snell started Game 1 and also completed 6.0 innings. The Padres did not score off Snell after 5 hits and 2 BB. He struck out a very uncharacteristic 3 Padres batters. Three relievers kept San Diego off the board.
Tyler Glasnow started Game 3. After 1 inning, he was staked to a 4-0 lead thanks to a Freddie Freeman 3-run HR, and an Andy Pages solo HR.
The Padres started to claw back in the 3rd. Glasnow walked Jake Cronenworth to start the 3rd for his only BB of his game, and it came back to bite him. Freddy Fermin singled to CF and was thrown out by a tremendous throw from Pages, with Cronenworth moving to 3rd. Cronenworth scored on a Fernando Tatis Jr double, but Glasnow stranded him after ground outs by Luis Arreaz and Machado.
In the 5th, Laureano hit a fly ball to RF that got into the wind and just made it over the fence for his 2nd HR of the series. Glasnow finished off the 5th, but his pitch count was up to 91. The pitch count was escalated in the 3rd inning (23 pitches) and the 5th inning (24 pitches). He was at 45 pitches for the other 3 innings.
Glasnow had 14 whiffs and his slider was a good out pitch for the day. He had 9 whiffs on 17 swings on his slider.
Anthony Banda relieved Glasnow in the 6th, his 3rd consecutive appearance. He allowed a pair of doubles and with one out and one run in, he was relieved by Ben Casparius with a runner on 2nd. A HBP, ground ball force out, and a strike out and Casparius got out of the inning without another run scoring.
Blake Treinen relieved Casparius in the 7th. He struck out Tatis Jr. and Arreaz hit a flair into CF for a single. He worked himself around to 3rd on a pair of SB, but Blake left him on 3rd. He got big help form HPU Jeremie Rehak when he called strike one to Machado on a 3-0 count. Instead of a walk, Machado ended up flying out. The HPU was horrific all game to both teams, but I am not sure if there was a more egregious blown call in this game.
Alexis Diaz came in to relieve Treinen and he did not have as successful of an outing as he did Friday. A HBP and double put runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Alex Vesia was summoned, and everyone was holding their breath. A force out on a ground ball hit to 2nd got the run tying run home. Vesia got Fermin on another ground out and got out of the inning.
After Andy Pages’ HR in the 1st inning, Padres pitchers retired the next 15 consecutive batters. Teoscar Hernández hit a 2 out flair into CF that Hernández obviously thought was going to be caught, and he jogged to 1B. The ball fell and Hernández did not get to 2nd on a ball he absolutely could have had he hustled out of the box. Pages followed with a flair of his own, that would have scored Hernández from 2nd but he ended up at 3rd. Alex Call, PH for Michael Conforto, struck out.
All knotted up at 4-4, Mookie came to bat against closer Robert Suarez. Mookie slugged a lead off HR giving the Dodgers 5-4 lead.
Mookie Betts just had his biggest swing of the season.
After the Padres came back to tie it at 4, he leads off the bottom of the 8th against Padres All-Star closer Robert Suarez with a home run.

On to the 9th. Vesia wanted the ball and he was due to face the top of the lineup: Tatis Jr., Arreaz, and Machado. Vesia got Tatis Jr. and Arreaz on foul pop out to Freddie, and struck out Machado.

MiLB GAME SUMMARY REPORTS
OKC Comets 9 – Albuquerque Isotopes (Colorado) 5
Home runs by Ryan Ward, Kody Hoese and CJ Alexander led the Oklahoma City Comets to a 9-5 win against the Albuquerque Isotopes Sunday night.
The homers — each hit with two outs — accounted for seven of the Comets’ runs in the series finale between the teams. Oklahoma City scored three runs in the third inning and went on to lead the rest of the game. Alexander hit a RBI triple before Ward sent a two-run homer out to left field for a 3-0 advantage in the third inning.
Ryan Ward ties the Bricktown era single season RBI record with this opo 🌮 homer❗️ pic.twitter.com/EcmmYMS0jv
— Oklahoma City Comets (@OKC_comets) August 18, 2025
Albuquerque loaded the bases in the fourth inning and brought in runs on a fielder’s choice and a sacrifice fly to trim OKC’s lead to one run.
The Comets responded with five runs in the fourth inning, including a three-run home run out to left-center field by Hoese and two-run homer by Alexander out to right field. Oklahoma City went ahead, 9-2, on a RBI groundout by Austin Gauthier in the fifth inning.
Albuquerque chipped away at OKC’s lead, scoring a run on a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning and a two-run home run by Sam Hilliard in the seventh inning.
Ryan Ward connected on a two-run home run in the third inning for his PCL-leading 29th home run of the season and his first homer since July 25 in Reno…With the two-run homer, he tied OKC’s single-season record for RBI and now has a Minor League-leading 107 RBI this season. His 107 RBI are tied with Jason Martin (2022) for the most by an Oklahoma City player during the team’s Bricktown era (since 1998).
Luken Baker finished with a team-high three hits, going 3-for-4 with a double and run scored. He has hit safely in each of his first six games with OKC, going 11-for-23 (.478) with four extra-base hits and four RBI.
CJ Alexander went 2-for-5 with a triple, home run, three RBI and scored two runs. He now has a team-leading five home runs, 24 hits and 16 runs in August and is tied for the team lead with 13 RBI this month…He has hit safely in five straight games, batting .409 with five extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs scored.
Kody Hoese finished with a season-high three RBI, going 1-for-3 with his fifth home run of the season, a walk and two runs. He has hit safely in four straight games and has six RBI over his last five games.

San Diego Missions 8 – Tulsa Drillers 1
Tulsa was no hit through 8.1 innings. With one out in the 9th, Zach Ehrhard singled and scored on Nelson Quiroz’s triple (2).
The Drillers used four pitchers, and three of them allowed the 8 runs. Only Jorge Benitez pitched well for 2.0 scoreless innings. He did not allow a hit, but did issue a BB.
The prospects the Dodgers acquired in the Dustin May trade have been tearing it up in Double-A

Jholbran Herder followed for the next 3.0 innings allowing the two runs (1 earned). William Maynard and Justin Chambers each followed with a scoreless inning with no hits, 1 BB, and 1 K.
The Quakes managed 4 singles and received 3 BB. None of the 7 baserunners crossed the plate. They did strike out a combined 13 times.
Nice win. It was a nail biter for a few minutes, but they got the job done. No let down in Denver now. Sweep those guys. First eye injection later this morning.
Bear, the injections can range from painless and painful for 24 hours, in which case I actually ice the eyeball. Sometimes you get a big spot in the center of your vision for a day as well, which is distracting as hell. But that too goes away in a day.
It’s not the most comfortable experience but in 24 hours you will be fine. A little bloodshot maybe, but fine.
Best of luck Mi Amigo.
No pain at all. I do have the spot in my eye, which is a wee bit distracting. But no biggie.
Great news. I’m so glad it worked well for you.
Me too. Doctor is a nice lady.
Offense still struggling. Smith in late season swoon
Had a bad series. I would not categorize it as a swoon. He should be fine in Denver. Their pitching not nearly as good as the Padres. Team ERA is 6.02. Only hitter you really need to worry about is their catcher, Hunter Goodman. Their closer’s ERA is 4.99.
It looks to me like Smith could use a break. I see Rushing getting more innings in the coming days.
Teo moves like he has a bag of cement on his back. He can still swing a bat, but he’s not running well. Does he need a break? Does Freddie?
Conforto, Freeland and Kennedy look like holes in the lineup. And yet with all the issues mentioned here the team sweeps San Diego. Amazing.
The whole offense is on life support. You can’t rest everyone. SD mostly beat themselves Plus our pitching came thru
Weird takeaway
Rushing will get 2 starts in Denver.
Smith last 10 games 3-30
And yet he threw out three runners out of three attempts on Saturday.
What do you suggest the Dodgers do with Will Smith?
Smith and Max carried this team in June, and when Max went down in July, Smith stepped up big time slashing .349/.461/.587/1.048.
That good pitching does not come as an accident. Will Smith knows the pitchers and knows the SD batters. He gets no credit for calling great games and managing the pitchers?
I will take the sweep and not worry about the player who has been picking up this team all year and still leads NL in OBP as a catcher.
First real slide of the year. He will be fine. Not even close to being as bad as some of the players have been. Be happy he has been as good as he has for as long as he has. Still leads the league in batting and OBP. Pages has hit just 3 homers on the road. His last 16 have come at Dodger Stadium and that is a record.
Cannot have a letdown in Denver. Play good baseball, win at least 3 out of 4 and go to SD and beat the Friars
August is a brutal month for catchers. Almost every catcher’s second half stats take a big dive. It’s just a brutal position and it takes its toll. When was the last time both Mookie and Freddie went deep in the same game? Got to bring the intensity to Colorado. Rockies are playing some good baseball right now. Need the bats to go on a sustained roll.
Really good point about catchers in August
Yes, I think that’s all David was saying, and some decided to jump down his throat and get all defensive. Ridic.
I hope Smith gets today off today, as he helped win us the last 3 games.
I did not jump down David’s throat. I gave a differing view point, and asked him what he thinks the Dodgers should do with Smith as he is slumping.
He singled out Smith in the overall offensive struggles. He said “Smith in late season swoon”. This is what he has been accused of throughout his MLB career.
Plus as I seem to always point out when catchers have an offensive decline, that the most important job for the catcher is to call the game and manage the pitcher. Smith does a great job of that even if his offense is suffering. Would we bringing up the slumping Smith if the HOF trio at the top of the order did not go 5-28? Smith is not having a Cal Raleigh season, but it is pretty darn good.
I did not jump down his throat. And I was not defensive. I was just pointing out that it wasn’t that bad.
We can afford Smith to rest today and perhaps Thursday afternoon as well. This needs to be minimum 3 wins in 4 games vs a bad team.
Pads are playing SF, who sucks right now, so we won’t be getting much help from our BFF’s the giants.
I’d like to see Freeland take advantage of Coors Field and wake his bat up. That could determine if he’s getting PT in Sept and into Oct. (Yes, I’m already assuming we get to October, for the 13th straight time).
Will Smith was not himself at the plate, but boy his three put-outs at second were awesome and set the tone.
The Dodgers patchwork BP and bottom of the order bats (Freeland, Conforto, Call, Rushing, et al) make the team vulnerable, Thank goodness the master plan for our starting pitchers is starting to work.
Smith is the least of their worries. He may not have had many hits, but he also hit in some bad luck. He smoked some balls that were caught.
This was a weird series. There was such a large buildup for this series. Yet either team took charge offensively. There was a limited amount of offense from the Dodgers and even less from the Padres.
The Dodgers had just enough effective pitching and hitting to overtake the team from the south and end up with a two game lead in the division. Hopefully, that will be the only taste of leading the division by San Diego. So, with even the huge haul at the trade deadline they still can’t compete with slumping Dodger team. Take note Bradley.
Good for Mookie to finally have a huge, game winning HR. It’s been a frustrating season for him and his fans. It will be amazing if this one HR turns his season around in time for the playoffs.
Same for Alex Vesia. He had a slow start to the season. Then he was very effective for a couple of months. And recently, he was having control issues and it was becoming a high wire act whenever he entered the game. He gutted through 1 2/3 innings to go from blowing a save to getting the win.
Now on to Denver. I agree that it may be an opportunity to give Will some time off and give Rushing some added playing time. With Yamamoto, Sheehan, and Ohtani starting the first three games the Dodgers should be favored to win at least 3 games and maybe a sweep. But, strange things can happen in Colorado.
Carry on.
Geez Arreaz is a pest. He again managed a couple of bloop doubles and 2 stolen bases. You can’t strike the guy out and he’s a foul ball master until he finds way to make better contact. One of those guys you can’t stand unless he’s hitting those flairs for your side.
Seeing Machado go 0 for 5 just makes my afternoon.
I too am wondering what’s going on with Teoscar. He pulls up on some balls that look catchable, isn’t covering much ground in right and then fails to hustle out his flair that dropped inevitably costing a run.
That seemed out of character and leads me to believe something is up.
It looks like some rest would help but if I’m playing I don’t want a day out of the lineup right now. This is a critical time and if my dings can’t get worse, I’m playing.
Glasnow was sharp as was the bullpen with the exception of Diaz. I shutter when he comes in. Get another reliever back and send him down the road.
The fact that we have a tendency lately to get an early lead and cruise, allowing the opponent to crawl back in the game, is frustrating. Glasnow should have had a win.
Mookie stopped the bleeding in the 8th, thankfully. But it’s a disturbing trend that is tough on the bullpen. Scratching out a run or two mid innings would be nice.
No let downs in Colorado, please. Keep the train rollin.
Sorry but any outing by one of our starters that doesn’t go at least 6 innings is not a successful one. We need more from Glasnow!
Could Glasnow have gone out for the 6th? He was at 91 pitches (68% strikes) and now pitching every 6 days, so I am guessing yes. Roberts pulled him. Glas gave up 4 hard hit balls, but only 1 > 100 MPH. In the 5th, the Laureano HR was a fly ball that got in the wind and carried. The Fermin single was a flair in CF and the Arreaz flair in RF should have been caught by Teoscar. He pitched to soft contact and should have been out of that inning.
Instead of letting Glas go 6, Doc brought Banda out for his 3rd consecutive game. I have no idea what Glas may have said to Doc, and Banda seemingly has a rubber arm. So I refuse to call it a mistake. I am just not going to say Glas was not successful simply because he did not complete 6.0 innings. He had more swings and misses than anybody. He struck out 8 which was more than Kersh and Snell combined (6).
I was really hoping Glasnow would’ve come out for the 6th. If I recall, he’s gone near 100 pitches a couple times since he returned, and I think he earned/deserved it.
On that we agree. Doc thought otherwise. If Hernandez can catch the Arráez flair he gets through the 5th quicker, making it more likely that he would come out for the 6th. He threw 106 on July 23, and 101 on August 4. Kershaw could have gone another inning on Friday. It appears that it is Doc who thinks the innings should be limited. Maybe the analytics department and AF/BG? It is not like LAD has a lockdown bullpen.
Had two innings where his pitch count got high. He almost made it.
Problem is they really need the pop in his bat. He has always looked a little slow out there. Teo is who he is. On September 1st they can add a position player and a pitcher.
Looks like Nathaniel Lowe is going to sign with the Red Sox.
Manfred said in an interview the other day that MLB would like to add 2 teams to make both leagues balanced, and that re-alignment is possible if that happens. Would be like the NBA and made into separate divisions. I would be all for that. Padres, Giants, Dodgers, Angels, Mariners and A’s all in one division. Colorado and Arizona in a separate division or you could swap Az and Las Vegas. Yankees and Mets in the same division with Boston and Toronto.
Gio Urshela released by the A’s. Paul Blackburn placed on release waivers by the Mets.
I think I would rather have Gio Urshela than Buddy Kennedy. Both RH hitters.
So you agree with my post from a couple of days ago.
The one possible pitfall to that is that Urshela fractured his pelvis when with the Angels a couple of years ago and hasn’t been the same ever since.
If AF decides to go after him, he’d better do a thorough physical before he signs him.
I do agree. He is only going to be a short term fixture until Max returns or maybe Hyeseong Kim. But he is better than Buddy Kennedy.
Dodgers have hit 9 homers off of Freeland, the Rockies starter for tonight. Only Rockie who has homered off of Yoshi is Tovar.
Two young SS elites have been promoted to AA. Pittsburgh’s Konnor Griffin and the A’s Leo De Vries. Griffin is 19 and De Vries is 18.
It’s the second promotion of the season for Griffin. He hit .338/.396/.536 at Low-A Bradenton, earning a promotion to High-A Greensboro after 50 games. He spent 51 games in Greensboro, hitting .325/.432/.510.
If Pittsburgh was not so cheap, I would say that Griffin would have a chance at being the Pirates opening day SS for 2026. De Vries is probably a year behind and has Jacob Wilson ahead of him.
Jeff, do you think any of our SS’s, Vargas, Hainline, Morales, has a chance to be in that “can’t miss” group, like a DeVries?
I think Emil Morales has a chance. I would like to see Joendry Vargas stay healthy for a full year. He is on the IL again. Hainline is not in that group. I think he is being groomed to be a utility infielder. He is 22 and is still in A+. He has played as many games at 2B as he has SS. He has some games at 3B as well.
I saw Hainline at Rancho last year he has a very good glove at short and second. The bat was suspect. He might start for a rebuilding team in transition but i think a utility infielder will be his best option.
I am certainly not being critical of Smith. But just commenting on the facts. There is a reason why catchers don’t lead the league in BA at end of year. And would bet that will be the case this year, unless Will can win it with a .285 average.
You cannot deny that he was hitting about .325 just a few weeks ago
No denying he is in a slump. Never thought he would end up winning the batting title. I never thought he would be where he is on August 18. My only objection is that you seemed to single out Smith who has carried this team for most of the year. He is the only hitter you mentioned.
I am not worried about Smith. Teo in RF worries me.
I’m not singling him out. He’s the one in a recent slump. Thats the point he has been the only one who has been consistent all year. The rest of team is mostly on life support due to injuries or just being crap. So its great we beat SD (or mostly they beat themselves) . Pitching stepped up, but offense was minimal. Someone (or two) is going to have to break out. Maybe its Mookie or Ohtani. Hoping for the best.
As you stated david, there is a very good reason catchers don’t win batting titles. One they typically don’t have the speed to get any leg hits. Then do about 175 squats, catch a bullpen, handle game management and catch a game in 95 degree heat with all that shit on and sacrifice some cage time for meetings on hitters and strategy, and see how you hit,
The last MLB catcher to win a batting title was Buster Posey in the National League in 2012. He is one of only four catchers in MLB history to win a batting title, alongside Joe Mauer (AL, 2006, 2008, 2009), Ernie Lombardi (NL, 1938, 1942), and Bubbles Hargrave (NL, 1926).
The wear and tear is physically and mentally draining.
I’m glad Rushing will get 1/2 the games in Denver. Now I wish he could hit a bit.
It’s all that more impressive then to think of what Mike Piazza did in the late 90’s (enhancements or not)!
Ok, if Ohtani’s single up the middle was a foot lower, he would’ve killed the pitcher.
He’s hit 2 absolute lasers today!
How many balls have to fall in front of Hernandez before they do something about it?
They could easily move Mookie back to right and Teo back to left if they wanted too.
May as well if you’re going to keep playing Buddy Kennedy at third base. Freeland can play short, and several different guys can okay second.
He made up for it with a quick, strong throw to third. I jest.
I was in favor of resigning Teoscar but he belongs in left field or as a DH but Ohtani has that locked up
Hernandez is killing us in rf. I am watching every game and it is just game in and game out. Many times he just loafs after the ball. What an inning. First the umpire blows a strike call on karros. He should have been struck out. Then the bloop that should have been caught then he throws to the wrong base.pages would have caught the ball and/or thrown the runner out. Terrible offensive lineup tonight. Bottom 4 awful.
It is beyond frustrating to watch him slow up and have balls drop a few feet in front of him. That inning was created by a missed strike on Kyle Karros and a catchable ball that Hernandez gives up on and lets it drop. I know we may not pay for this defense tonight but it happens often enough that it is bound to hurt the Dodgers in the playoffs. His effort level yesterday on the bases and for a few months in the outfield has been poor.
I think it is an insult to Roberts to say that Teo is constantly loafing on the bases and in outfield. How does he let him get away with that? Answer—Not all injured players can be on IL at once!!!
They can be on the bench. If you are that injured that you can not run full speed from home to second (which ultimately cost the Dodgers a run) or you can not run full speed for sixty feet or so to give yourself a chance to catch a fly ball or chase a ball in the gap then I would suggest that the cost-benefit analysis of playing an injured Teoscar may need to be re-evaluated. Maybe his lack of effort is due to his injury and he is being told to pick his spots. Then maybe it is his judgment on when to sprint and when to not risk it that needs to be addressed. Your point is well taken, though.
Colorado SS Tovar is a fantastic glove out there!
This team is just soooooo dang frustrating. Teo is an embarrassment in RF! Move his butt to LF or sit him on the bench. Just sickening!
Why wasn’t Justin Dean in CF and Pages in RF? We are never going to get an answer, but it should be asked.
Dodgers were behind. Dean only comes in if there is a lead with an inning left. But I’m sick of seeing Hernandez not catch balls in front of him.
Utterly pathetic loss
What’s the expression? The ball will find you.
Hernandez strikes again!!
And people think Smith is a problem. Time to move Teo to LF.
I don’t think anyone is saying that Smith is the problem, just that he has joined the club with everyone else who are of not hitting lately
I agree with Scott. Once Edman comes back, he should take over a SS and have Betts move to RF. Hernandez to LF. I know he likes RF, but hey, I’d like to play RF for the Dodgers as well. Doesn’t mean I should. Once Kim is back he can be the extra LHB and then get rid of Conforto.
I’d also sign Urshela and DFA Kennedy.
Let’s hope the Dodgers do this.
