The Dodgers scored six times in the first two innings against Hill, acquired by the Padres at the trade deadline. Freddie Freeman and Amed Rosario hit home runs.
SAN DIEGO — The Dodgers and Padres went car shopping at the trade deadline and each drove off with a high-mileage, used vehicle.
In his second start for the Dodgers, Lynn looked even better than he did in his debut against the lowly Oakland A’s. He allowed just one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six in six innings. The echoes from Pearl Jam’s “Even Flow” had barely faded before Hill’s debut with his 13th MLB team started to go badly. He hit Freddie Freeman with a 72-mph curveball and served up a two-run home run to Amed Rosario on a fly ball that dropped into the “Petco Porch” just inside the right-field foul pole.
Two batters later, Hill got ahead 0-and-2 on Freeman but couldn’t put him away. On the 10th pitch of the at-bat, Freeman drove a three-run home run into the right-field seats and Hill’s debut with the Padres fit the team’s season-long theme of disappointment. He was out of the game after three innings and 77 pitches, having retired just nine of the first 17 batters he faced while wearing Padres camo.
