Fernando Tatis Jr. continued his postseason assault on opposing pitchers Tuesday night, smashing a Walker Buehler deep in left field to propel the San Diego Padres to a 6-5 victory in Game 3 of their best of 5 series . Teoscar Hernandez hit a grand slam to bring the Dodgers within 6-5 in the top of the third inning, but LA was shut out the rest of the game by San Diego starter Michael King and four relievers. The Padres now lead Series 2 to 1 games, with Game 4 scheduled for Wednesday night.

For his part, Tatis is now hitting a robust .556 with 4 home runs and 7 RBIs in San Diego’s 5 playoff games. For the Dodgers, Mookie Betts picked up his first two hits of the series, including a home run, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Padres 6-run second inning against Walker Buehler.

Game 4 is Wednesday night in San Diego. The Dodgers have not yet announced their starter for the game, and it appears it will be a bullpen game, while the Padres will send Dylan Cease to the mound.
