LOS ANGELES — For three innings Thursday night at Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers looked nothing like the club that entered play with the best record in the National League.
By the end of the night, they looked exactly like it.
After Roki Sasaki endured the shortest start this season and spotted the San Diego Padres a 6-0 lead, the Dodgers responded with 12 unanswered runs in a stunning 12-7 victory, improving to 57-31 while stretching their National League West lead to 13 games.
The comeback showcased the resilience of a lineup that never panicked. It also overshadowed another concerning outing from Sasaki, whose recent struggles continue to raise questions.
"I like the way we just kind of stayed the course," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "Tonight was a clinic."
