This win marked the fifth consecutive series victory against the Padres, dating back to last season. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the importance of clean baseball, highlighting their ability to minimize walks and execute plays effectively. Will Smith acknowledged the significance of each game as the season nears its end, expressing the team's goal of clinching the division title. The Dodgers have a strong 7-2 record against the Padres, ensuring an NL West tiebreaker advantage if needed.
"It feels good," manager Dave Roberts said. "I just think for me, obviously, wins are great. We're going to sleep well tonight, be ready to win three tomorrow, but I'm just happy that we're playing better baseball."
"It just seems like we're playing clean baseball. We're minimizing the walks, taking walks, not making outs on the bases, and converting outs when we need to. And when you have the talent that we do, you just got to play good baseball."
