It was a pitchers' duel on Monday night after Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Michael King both dominated on the mound in the Los Angeles Dodgers ' 1-0 loss to the San Diego Padres . After the contest, Freddie Freeman opened up about the matchup and described the game exactly how he saw it.

While talking with media members in the locker room, the 36-year-old first baseman summed up the loss to high-quality pitching from the Padres, according to SportsNet L.A. While the Dodgers had several chances to potentially score, the pitching from Michael King, Jason Adam , and Mason Miller controlled the game throughout.

"It was just a good pitching matchup," said Freeman about King's performance. "Yoshinobu made one mistake to Miguel [Andujar]… Yeah. It's just a good pitching game. We had some opportunities, but hard to score against Miller. But, no, it was just a good pitching matchup tonight."

Freddie Freeman did not record a single hit against the Padres on Monday night. However, he did draw two walks, at least getting on base to give the Dodgers a chance to drive him in for a score. But a run never came for Los Angeles , as the only run scored in the entire game came in the first inning for San Diego .

The 17-year veteran and his teammates will have a chance to redeem themselves against the Padres on Tuesday. The NL West divisional rivals will face off for the second contest of a three-game series at 9:40 p.m. EST. Lineups have not yet been announced, but the Dodgers will roll with Emmet Sheehan on the mound, while the Padres will start Griffin Canning .
