The National League Divisional Series between the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers has been a series for ages.

While the Padres came up short in the first game, losing 7-5 to the Dodgers, they came back with a vengeance in the second game, winning 10-2.

However, it was Game 3 where the Padres made history.

After the Dodgers scored one run in the first inning, a home run by right fielder Mookie Betts, San Diego came up big again, scoring six times in the second inning, including a home run by Fernando Tatís Jr.

“Man, when I hit him, I don’t know, I just passed out and started screaming at my dugout,” Tatís said. “Just the energy through the roof.”

“I think I’ve seen him enough to know that he shines when he needs to,” third baseman Manny Machado said, according to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune. “And what he’s doing on the field right now is unbelievable. … He doesn’t shy away from the moment and rises above it.”

However, this time Los Angeles didn’t just disappear. The Dodgers responded with a grand slam from left fielder Teoscar Hernández that brought in Betts, designated hitter Shohei Ohtani and center fielder Andy Pages.

Despite the comeback attempt, the Padres were able to maintain the lead and won the third game 6-5.

According to OptaSTATS, this makes San Diego the first team in Major League Baseball history to give up a grand slam, score in just one inning, then not score again after the second inning and still win the game.

The Padres now lead the series 2-1 and things are actually looking in their favor. The Dodgers will rely on their bullpen in Game 4, which means starting relief pitcher Ryan Brasier.

In addition, Los Angeles will be without first baseman Freddie Freeman, an eight-time All-Star and former National League MVP who had a .282 batting average with 22 home runs this season. Still, the Dodgers have plenty of threats, including Betts and Ohtani.

In the meantime, the Padres will look to continue their momentum and secure the NLDS. They start pitcher Dylan Cease, who has a 14-11 win-loss record this season and led the league in games started. In 33 games, Cease maintained a 3.47 ERA with 224 strikeouts.

If the Padres win, they will face the New York Mets in the National League Championship Series after surprisingly knocking out the Philadelphia Phillies.
