Things sure have changed since the last time the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers clashed, back in June. The Dodgers were running away in the NL West then with a nine-game lead. The Padres were in third place.

Luis Arraez’s eighth-inning sacrifice fly with the bases loaded brought the Padres to within a run, but Manny Machado popped out on the first pitch by Blake Treinen to end that inning and Ryan O’Hearn flied out to end the game with a the tying run on first base to snap the Padres’ five-game winning streak and the Dodgers’ four-game skid.

The last time the Padres led the NL West this late in the season was in 2010; Dave Roberts told the Dodgers to 'ramp up the intensity.'
