Things sure have changed since the last time the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers clashed, back in June. The Dodgers were running away in the NL West then with a nine-game lead. The Padres were in third place.

One of the best rivalries in baseball resumes this weekend in Southern California when the Los Angeles Dodgers host the San Diego Padres for three games at Dodger Stadium. The NL West remains very much up for grabs with six weeks and one weekend to play in the 2025 regular season.

Padres catcher Freddy Fermin crashed into the padded railing in front of the camera well next to San Diego's dugout trying to make a foul catch on Andy Pages. Fermin hit the railing with his chest and the ball was jarred loose. He stayed in the game.
