The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 4-2 on Sunday to take two of three in the series. Freddie Freeman drew a tiebreaking, bases-loaded walk in the fifth inning, and Mookie Betts followed with a two-run single.
Dodgers Extend Lead
The Dodgers, who have baseball’s best record at 54-30, extended their lead to 10 games over the Padres in the NL West. The teams will meet again Thursday through Sunday at Dodger Stadium.
Manny Machado homered off Emmet Sheehan with one out in the fourth to tie it at 1. It was Machado’s 15th of the season. The Dodgers’ win was fueled by a strong performance from their pitching staff, with Emmet Sheehan bouncing back after losing each of his past four starts.
