The Los Angeles Dodgers swept the San Diego Padres in the three-game series at Dodger Stadium. Yu Darvish gave up four runs in the first inning, and the Padres were left clawing back and did so, tying the game up at four in the eighth inning. However, Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts then hit a go-ahead home run that clinched the series.

San Diego Padres centerfielder Jackson Merrill is questionable for tonight's series opener against the San Francisco Giants. Merrill, who struck out twice in Sunday's 5-4 loss against the Dodgers, exited the game due to a left ankle injury. After rolling his ankle during a play on Friday, Merrill decided to "play through" the injury.

As San Diego continues its playoff push, Merrill’s recovery will be closely monitored. The Padres have leaned heavily on their pitching and defense to stay afloat in the division race, and losing one of their most dynamic young players could test their depth down the stretch.
