The Dodgers swept the Padres at home last week, taking a two-game lead in the NL West. But following the sweep, LA split its series against the Colorado Rockies. Now with Friday\u2019s defeat, the Dodgers lost sole possession of first place as the Padres moved into a tie for the division lead.The Dodgers got another excellent start from Blake Snell Friday. Since returning from the IL on August 2, Snell has been dominant. The two-time Cy Young winner dazzled in a 10-strikeout performance against the Blue Jays. He then impressed in last week&#8217;s outing against the Padres, earning back-to-back wins.<\/p>\n<p>But Dodgers fans felt the team let Snell down on Friday. The 10th-year veteran took the loss despite a strong showing. Snell allowed two runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts in seven innings while the Padres won 2-1.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Dodgers&#8217; offense dooms Blake Snell in loss to Padres<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3495265\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3495265\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Blake-Snell-1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Blake-Snell-1.jpg 1186w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Blake-Snell-1.jpg?resize=300,168 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Blake-Snell-1.jpg?resize=768,431 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Blake-Snell-1.jpg?resize=1024,575 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Blake-Snell-1.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Fans blast Dodgers for wasting Blake Snell start in loss to Padres\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3495265\">David Frerker-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>LA\u2019s lefty hurler was out-dueled by Yu Darvish. The Padres\u2019 veteran gave up just one run on one hit and one walk while striking out five batters over six innings.<\/p>\n<p>San Diego\u2019s bullpen continued silencing the Dodgers\u2019 bats after Darvish left the game. The All-Star trio of Jason Adam, Mason Miller and Robert Suarez combined for three scoreless innings. Suarez closed out the Padres&#8217; 2-1 win, earning his 34th save of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Snell fell to 3-2 on the year with the loss. However, he added to his streak of exceptional outings since rejoining the Dodgers\u2019 rotation earlier this month. Snell has allowed five total runs in his last four starts. He has 26 strikeouts and just seven walks in 23 innings since his return from injury.<\/p>\n<p>Dodgers fans felt the team\u2019s one-run, three-hit effort wasted a strong start from Snell. And others are just generally fed up with LA\u2019s inconsistent play. Here\u2019s how some fans reacted after Friday\u2019s loss to San Diego:<\/p>\n<p>Rosey wrote:<br \/>\n\u201cKen Rosenthal was right there is something missing this season. This team has 0 spark . Just dead. Blake Snell gives you 7 innings and you replay with a dead offense and shitty lineup choices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Don Draper added:<br \/>\n\u201cFailed Blake snell tonight smh what a shame bro\u201d<\/p>\n<p>hxitsg775 commented:<br \/>\n\u201cThis seals the deal. It\u2019s official. The padres OWN the dodgers.
