"We definitely had some opportunities to break it open. … We've got to come up with a hit in that situation, or a good at-bat.
And we just weren't able to tonight," Stammen said.
Regarding Tatis, who has yet to hit a home run this season, Stammen noted the pressure the young star is facing.
"He's working every day to try to figure that out," Stammen said. "[It's] natural for anyone to press when they're trying to get out of a slump."
Padres starter Randy Vasquez limited the damage to three runs over 4 1/3 innings despite allowing hard contact early.
"After that first pitch to Ohtani, I felt like I was able to keep my plan of attack," Vasquez said through an interpreter.

The Dodgers had previously rested Ohtani from the batting lineup during his prior three pitching starts to manage his workload before reinstating him as a full two-way player for Wednesday's contest.
