September 1, 2017 (San Diego) - The Padres are probably excited it’s September because it won’t be long till the offseason, but Clayton Kershaw dropped into Petco Park tonight to kill the vibe, along with the rest of the Dodgers. Dinelson Lamet took the hill for the Padres against him.

Surprisingly, we were deadlocked for a while until the sixth when--predictably--Chase Utley singled to score Justin Turner and the Dodgers took a 1-0 lead.  Unsurprisingly, that was all they needed to win in a great battle from both pitchers.

A rare Saturday doubleheader is tomorrow.  Game one is at 12:40 p.m. and game two is at 7:10 p.m.  Brock Stewart starts for the Dodgers against Clayton Richard in game one and Yu Darvish starts for the Dodgers against a new face for the Padres, Jordan Lyles.
