How did the Padres avoid being swept by the Dodgers in the final game?

Ben Fadden 0:00
All right, everybody, welcome on in the series finale edition here of the Talking Friars, the Padres and the Dodgers. Wrapped up their four game set at Dodger Stadium just a few moments ago. On Sunday night baseball. On NBC and Peacock. Padres, they get the win. They avoid getting swept in this four game set. Five to two is the final. Now forty four and forty five, so still under five hundred. As they go back home for that two game home stand or two series home stand, excuse me. With D backs and the blue jays before The all star break, it's a nasty stretch that the Padre's are on right now. Seventeen games in seventeen days, no days off in there, but obviously there's the break where they get like what four days off, I think.
Ben Fadden 0:48
during that break. So Uh, they gotta keep grinding through it. They're obviously not playing great baseball. Uh but there were some some Encouraging moments. in this one today. Uh and in just the series overall. Sure, you lost three out of four. But I think Jackson Merrill With some of the moments that he had. In this series and some of the hits that he had. You know, that's encouraging to me. Like he's He's one of those that has been in um a a really rough spot. Uh he's probably been in a rough spot mentally because he expects himself himself to be better and produce more for this team. Uh but he's come up with some good hits. in this series. So I like to see that. Um in the fourth that was his RBI single on the ball that was hit pretty hard through the right side.
Ben Fadden 1:44
Um Manny obviously had the big swing in this game, the three run homer. On the fastball that was Up in the zone and he crushed that ball, took advantage of it to dead center. Um I think The biggest story of today's game probably is MH not MHN, sorry. Um, JP Sears. M.C. N was pitching for the Dodgers and he's he was one of the stories too. Like he pitched really well and there was a point, I think it was into the fourth inning at least. Where Pot rays And dodgers. Both teams didn't have a hit yet. Um JP Sears. goes five innings and only gives up one hit. She in four and a third, gives up three hits. What hurt him was the walks, walking three guys. Um and I wanna say In that fourth inning. There was a w yeah, Manny walked.
Ben Fadden 2:43
And he ended up scoring. So The walks did end up hurting Sheanne a little bit there, but JP Sears And I was joking when I made that tweet. Um before this series I was like Yeah, JP Sears the JP Sears game coming up. in front of a national audience on that Sunday night game. uh just because his previous outing before hadn't been that great and You know, JP Sears is just a name that you're not expecting him to come through with a performance like that. Like that's just what it is. Um sure the first outing that he had in the season against the Braves, he went five and two thirds and two only two earned runs like You're gonna take that from JP Sears, but The outing before or bar the outing after that one. He went four and two thirds and gave up six earned runs.
Ben Fadden 3:37
He gave up three homers.

What were the key moments that gave the Padres a 5‑2 win?

Ben Fadden 3:38
So You know, it's one of those where I think the the negative moments maybe stand out more. For those guys. Uh JP Sears being one of them. Um But I was happy that he came through with a a performance like that. Tonight. The the Padres definitely needed it. Sure it wasn't six innings, but There's been I think too many outings this season where even Padre's starting pitchers don't even go five innings. Like they they can't even Get that done. So Um that was that was a big help. Um again, no off days, seventeen seventeen games and seventeen days. So you're gonna take it wherever you can get it. And Andrew Morahone came up huge. A few punch outs that he had in this game, he pitches five outs. Um He had, I think, a couple runners on
Ben Fadden 4:37
That was yeah, he lowed a couple of singles. But then struck out Tommy Edmund. Shohe did single, but then he struck out Pawes and that was with Two runners on. So that was big obviously and Pahez is going to the All Star game, so that's that's nothing to To sneeze at there. Um and then Mason Miller comes in in in the ninth inning and just shuts it down.
