The Los Angeles Dodgers faced a tough 10-2 loss against the San Diego Padres in Game 2 of their playoff series, with the Padres launching six home runs. Can the Dodgers bounce back in this high-stakes matchup? Jack Flaherty's performance was under scrutiny as he allowed four runs over 5 1/3 innings, a typical outing since joining the Dodgers. Concerns rise as Freddie Freeman exits early with ankle discomfort, adding to the team's offensive struggles. The Dodgers' lineup, especially the top order, needs to ignite to keep their playoff hopes alive. As the series shifts to San Diego, all eyes are on Michael King and Walker Buehler in Game 3.

Tune in to explore the Dodgers' challenges and strategies as they aim to turn the series around.
