SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Tuesday marked another victory for the San Diego Padres, with the home team beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5 in Game 3 of the National League Division Series.
It was the second inning that brought all excitement. Manny Machado cracked a single, Xander Bogaerts whipped a ground ball, David Peralta had a double, and a throwing error by the Dodgers allowed Machado to advance to third.
