San Diego Padres
· 2026-06-27
The San Diego Padres beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-1 on June 27, 2026, with Walker Buehler pitching a strong game against his former team.
The Padres got off to a strong start with a three-run homer by Ty France in the second inning, taking a 3-1 lead.
Buehler lasted 5-1/3 innings, giving up just three hits and striking out five.
The Padres bullpen, including Yuki Matsui, Jason Adam, and Adrian Morejon, kept the Dodgers at bay.
The Padres' second-tier players carried the offense, with Sung-Mun Song hitting a two-run single and Rodolfo Duran hitting an RBI double.
Fernando Tatis Jr. also contributed with a single, helping the Padres break the game open with a four-run rally.
The Padres will try to clinch the series tonight, with Randy Vasquez pitching against Yoshinobu Yamamoto for the Dodgers.
The win leaves the Padres eight games behind the Dodgers, but they're still in the running with a 43-37 record and a four-game win streak.
The Padres are currently fifth in the National League, looking to make a comeback and get back in the race.
And with Buehler's ERA for June sitting at 1.71, the Padres have a strong chance of winning their next game.
But the Dodgers won't go down without a fight, and the series is far from over.
So the Padres will need to keep their momentum going if they want to take the series.
