The Los Angeles Dodgers face a critical moment after costly defensive errors by Miguel Rojas and Freddie Freeman led to a big inning for the San Diego Padres. Walker Buehler's performance raised eyebrows as he gave up six runs in five innings without a single strikeout, highlighting concerns about his current form.

Explore how the Padres' bullpen, strengthened by recent trade deadline moves, effectively shut down the Dodgers' offense after the third inning. Key hitters like Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy struggled to make an impact, adding to the Dodgers' woes. The discussion also covers potential lineup changes, including the possibility of Dalton Rushing or Kiké Hernandez stepping up, as the Dodgers prepare for Game 4 against Dylan Cease on short rest.

Tune in to discover if the Dodgers can turn the tide and secure a series win.
