The Dodgers rallied from down 3-0 to win 4-3 on Friday night against the up and coming Padres.  Here are three takeaways from the victory.

Over the last couple of seasons, the Dodgers’ main competition from the NL West has been the Diamondbacks and the Rockies.  Prior to those two teams it was the Giants who battled the Dodgers for the division title.  Now the Padres are the newest team in the mix that will look to give the Dodgers a run for their money.

While it may not be this season, the Padres are a team loaded with prospects and they have solid talent already on their roster to go with free agent acquisition Manny Machado.  On Friday, the Padres got their first crack at the Dodgers and in front of a sold-out crowd, the two teams battled for nine innings. While the Dodgers won, the Padres certainly gained their respect in another low scoring game.
