What happened: The Los Angeles Dodgers scored six unanswered runs to wipe out an early six-run deficit and level the game at Dodger Stadium. The rally turned what had been a lopsided night into a tie ballgame on the national broadcast.
Why it matters: The comeback comes in the middle of a heated NL West series, where the Dodgers hold a 2-1 lead over the visiting San Diego Padres. Los Angeles entered the night at 56-31, well clear of a San Diego side sitting at 43-42, and a rally like this reinforces the gap between the division's front-runner and a Padres club that had grabbed the early margin.
By the numbers: Los Angeles leads the current series 2-1. Recent head-to-head has been volatile: the Dodgers took the last meeting 4-2 (June 28) and routed San Diego 15-3 the night before, while the Padres answered with a 7-1 win on June 26. On the season, Los Angeles is 56-31 (5.3 runs per game) against San Diego's 43-42 (3.9 runs per game).
What to watch: Watch how the bullpens hold up in the late innings with the game even and the series lead on the line.
