After pulling ahead late yesterday to even the series at a game apiece, the Dodgers and Padres are setup for a rubber match between a pair of (former) aces in Walker Buehler and Yu Darvish.
Also, Happy Mother’s Day!

The biggest news, of course, is Shohei Ohtani‘s lower back tightness, which led to his early exit in yesterday’s game. His absence in the lineup today was expected and is said to be precautionary, but definitely something to monitor going forward.
#Dodgers Shohei Ohtani said his back started bothering him during pregame workout on Saturday. Tightened up as game went on. Feels better today and wanted to play but Dave Roberts had already told him he would get a day off during this stretch. Just came sooner now
