The Los Angeles Dodgers edged the San Diego Padres 4–3 on March 20 at Camelback Ranch in a spring training matchup that stayed well under the Vegas total of 1. The Dodgers' offense generated 10 hits and 6 walks while striking out 8 times, posting a .834 OPS despite failing to hit a home run, and their pitching staff struck out 12 San Diego batters across a 5.20 ERA outing. The Padres managed only 6 hits with a single home run and 3 RBIs, though their .844 OPS suggested competitive at-bats; they fanned 12 times against Dodgers pitchers and allowed 10 hits with a 5.58 ERA. Los Angeles' pitching discipline—allowing just 3 walks to San Diego's 6—proved decisive in a low-scoring affair where neither team dominated. The Dodgers' clean defense (zero errors) and ability to manufacture runs without power proved the difference in this spring training contest, offering early indicators of their contact-oriented approach heading into the regular season.
