The Los Angeles Dodgers lost the series opener 2-1 to the San Diego Padres at Petco Park, with the offense producing only one run via an Alex Freeland home run. The loss leaves the Dodgers and Padres tied atop the NL West. Tyler Glasnow will start the second game after allowing two earned runs over five innings in his previous outing against San Diego. Opposing Glasnow will be Nestor Cortes, acquired at the July 31 trade deadline and coming off a start in which he allowed four earned runs in 5.2 innings. Michael Conforto will sit, and Alex Call will start in left field for his strength versus left-handed pitching. First pitch Saturday is 5:40 p.m. PT on FS1.
Tyler Glasnow will take the mound for the Dodgers in second game of the series. The right-hander's last start was also against the Padres, where he allowed two earned runs in five innings. Opposite Glasnow is Padres left-hander Nestor Cortes, who San Diego acquired at the July 31 trade deadline. Cortes is coming off a shaky start where he gave up four earned runs in 5.2 innings against the San Francisco Giants.
Michael Conforto will sit out Saturday's game at Petco Park, and Alex Call will get the start in left field. The Dodgers specifically acquired Call for his strength against left-handed pitchers, and they'll need that production from the outfielder Saturday night.
