The Los Angeles Dodgers overcame a five-run deficit in the eighth inning to defeat the San Diego Padres 10-5 on Tuesday night. The Dodgers, who had been trailing 5-0 entering the eighth inning, put together a remarkable rally to take the lead and secure the win.
The rally began with a two-run home run by Justin Turner, who was followed by a solo shot from Cody Bellinger. After a single from Corey Seager, Max Muncy drove in two more runs with a double. A walk and a single from Chris Taylor and Enrique Hernandez, respectively, put the Dodgers ahead 6-5.
The Dodgers weren’t done yet, however. They added four more runs in the ninth inning to extend their lead to 10-5. Turner drove in two more runs with a double, and Hernandez and Taylor each drove in one more run with singles.
The Dodgers’ comeback was remarkable, and it was made possible by some clutch hitting from their star players. Turner had three hits and four RBIs, while Bellinger had two hits and two RBIs. Muncy also had two hits and two RBIs, while Seager had one hit and one RBI.
The win was a much-needed one for the Dodgers, who have been struggling as of late. They have now won three of their last four games and will look to keep the momentum going as they face the Padres again on Wednesday night.
