A Fierce NL West Showdown Begins

The 2025 MLB season heats up as the San Diego Padres welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers to Petco Park on Monday, June 9, for a three-game series. The intense rivalry, considered baseball’s best, reignites as both teams vie for the National League West crown.

A Historic Rivalry

Since the Padres’ inception in 1969, the “I-5 Series” has grown from a regional matchup into a fierce postseason battleground. Memorable moments include the Padres’ 1996 NL West-clinching sweep at Dodger Stadium, capped by Chris Gwynn’s extra-inning hit. Recent postseason clashes in 2020 and 2024 have fueled tensions, with each game brimming with drama.

Controversies, like the 2023 Kershaw crying meme on Petco’s scoreboard and Manny Machado’s alleged ball-throwing incident at Dodgers manager Dave Roberts in 2024, have deepened the animosity. The Dodgers’ bullpen responded with 24 shutout innings against the Padres last October.
