Recap: Maeda Strikes Out 13 in 3-1 Win Over Padres
Before the Dodgers go on their well-deserved All-Star break, they have one more game against the Padres! With a win today they would go into the break having won their last series which would provide great momentum!
Luckily, the bats were alive and Maeda put on a spectacle to give us a 3-1 win over the Padres! Here are the highlights!
