The Padres dropped the crucial series finale to the Dodgers 13-7 on Monday, giving them their 3rd loss in 4 games in this series. The Padres looked like they were ready to split the 4-game set, jumping all over Tony Gonsolin for 5 runs in the 3rd inning, and a 5-0 lead. But the Dodgers immediately responded, scoring 8 runs in the top of the 4th, including a grand slam to Mookie Betts to knock Seth Lugo out of the game. The Dodgers weren't done then, as they tacked on 5 more runs off of newly acquired reliever Scott Barlow in the 6th inning, ending any hopes the Padres had of making a comeback. After the game, Seth Lugo said that hey thought the Dodgers knew what pitches were coming. You can see his full comments, as well as Bob Melvin's explanation for pitching to Betts with the bases loaded below.
