September 14, 1969, Los Angeles: Dodgers 3, Padres 1 (box score)
Let’s get the one Padre highlight out of the way. Ollie Brown knocked a solo homer with two out in the ninth to ruin Don Sutton’s shutout bid.
Sutton was in complete control all game. He went the distance, scattering three singles in addition to Brown’s [...]

From The Scouting Report: 1990 (aff link):
Finding a weakness in Greg Maddux is difficult. Whether he is at home or on the road, on turf or natural grass, during the day or at night, his numbers are all excellent. Though Maddux is not [...]

If you thought Wednesday night’s loss (box score) was dreadful, here’s something even verse:
Once was a boy, age fifteen years,
Hiram Helsel was his name,
And he was sick two years or so;
He has left this world of pain;
His friends they miss this lovely boy,
That was patient, kind [...]

September 13, 1969, Los Angeles: Dodgers 7, Padres 2 (box score)
The Padres struck first, but wasted an opportunity to do even more damage. Nate Colbert led off the second inning with a double to right. One out later, Jerry Morales hit an infield single that advanced Colbert to third; an error by catcher Tom Haller [...]

Five years ago I was concerned about Jake Peavy’s lefty/righty splits, optimistic about Adam Eaton’s recovery from surgery, and drinking Eureka Black and Tan and MacTarnahan’s Blackwatch Cream Porter.
Two years ago I still liked Eaton’s chances to blossom into a front-line starter.
Last year [...]

If Tuesday night’s opener provides any indication, this series in Los Angeles is going to be tough. Sure, the final score was 9-4, but the Dodgers just would not go away. The Padres even had to get Trevor Hoffman up and warming at the end.
Jake Gets It Done
Jake Peavy came back strong after last week’s [...]

San Diego jumped out to an early 2-0 lead against Bill Singer. With one out in the second, Van Kelly drew a walk. Jerry Morales followed with a double to center that scored the Padres’ first run. Morales advanced to third on a Ted Sizemore [...]

The Padres need Jake Peavy to be a pitcher, not a hero. They need him to come back strong from last week’s debacle in the desert.
A few Dodgers with decent sample sizes — Rafael Furcal (32 PA, .281/.281/.688), Luis Gonzalez (58 PA, .353/.431/.686), [...]

September 7, 1969, San Diego: Padres 4, Dodgers 2 (box score)
When the Dodgers arrived in San Diego on Thursday, they were 74-59, 1 game out of first place in the National League West. When they left, their record had fallen to 74-63 and the team from Los Angeles found itself in fourth place, 2 1/2 [...]

September 6, 1969, San Diego: Padres 3, Dodgers 1 (box score)
Clay Kirby and Don Sutton hooked up in the third of a four-game series at San Diego Stadium. Kirby, for reasons I cannot find, exited early, with Tommie Sisk taking over in the second.
The game remained scoreless, with neither team threatening at all, until the [...]
