In this story:

With the Padres coming to Dodger Stadium one week after their shenanigans involving a Clayton Kershaw meme, the wonder was whether the Dodgers would find some way to retaliate. Well, they did in their own epic way.

Upon the conclusion of the game -- a 4-2 win for the Dodgers -- fans were invited onto the field to watch the final seconds of the Lakers' victory over the Golden State Warriors that send the Lake Show to the Western Conference Finals.

There's getting even. There's getting ahead. And then there's this.

One important note, Padres star third baseman Manny Machado refused to talk to reporters after an 0-4 night with 2 double plays grounded in to.

The vibes were high at Dodger Stadium as Title Town LA got one step closer to a repeat. Of course, the Lakers and Dodgers brought home championships in 2020.

Before the game, Dodgers players were hyped for the game 6 matchup between LeBron James, Anthony Davis and company against Steph Curry, Trayce Thompson's brother Klay and the defending NBA champion Warriors. The Dodger social media team set up a hoop in the player parking lot for the boys in blue to have a little fun with on their way in to work.

The Lakers advanced in the playoffs and the Dodgers defeated the big spending Padres. What a great time for the city of Los Angeles.

The Dodgers get back at it today with Julio Urias on the mound against Joe Musgrove at 4:10 PM PT on FOX.
