'It's tough.' Slumping Chris Taylor's playing time cut, as Dodgers roster questions arise latimes.com/sports/dodgers…

Final: Dodgers 6, Giants 4

#Dodgers are 28-15

LAD wins on a 10th-inning double-play to complete a JP Feyereisen save ... just like they drew it up

Having used all their leverage relievers already (JP Feyereisen is currently warming up), the Dodgers really needed some runs in the top of the 10th

They just got two from Will Smith, who smacked a double to center with one out

6-4 Dodgers, top 10th

This game is tied again. Kiké Hernández came off the bench and whacked a solo home run around the LF foul pole

Tied 4-4, top 7th

The Dodgers had the game tied. But then Yoshinobu Yamamoto walked a couple batters, and Mookie Betts couldn't stop Heliot Ramos' grounder from getting thru the infield

That's it for Yamamoto. Alex Vesia in to try and limit the damage

4-3 Giants, btm 6th

Yoshinobu Yamamoto hung a first-pitch curveball to Luis Matos. He clobbered it for a three-run homer.

3-1 Giants, btm 2nd

Jordan Hicks had Mookie Betts in 1-2 count. But then he left a sweeper in the zone that Betts launched for a leadoff home run

That was his first home run in 26 games

1-0 Dodgers, top 1st

Hello from San Francisco

Shohei Ohtani is back in the Dodgers lineup today

The #Dodgers lost to the #Padres again, and Jack Harris was reminded of their recent October failures: latimes.com/sports/dodgers…

How patient should the Dodgers be with Walker Buehler?

Dave Roberts did his job today. He protected Shohei Ohtani from himself.

On how Roberts took a small but critical step to create a different kind of relationship with Ohtani than the one the Angels had: latimes.com/sports/dodgers…

Final: Padres 4, Dodgers 0

#Dodgers are 27-15

Padres take two of three from LAD for the second time this season. Dodgers are hitting just .208 against San Diego this year, and have averaged just 3.5 runs/gm in their past six meetings

Now Mookie has an extra-base hit. Smacks a double into the LCF gap

Walker Buehler's second start back: 3.1 innings, 3 runs, 5 hits, 2 walks, 2 strikeouts

He got some whiffs with the curveball, but didn't seem to have much else working. After hoping pregame to get Buehler through the fifth inning, Roberts instead had to lift him after 77 pitches
