Mookie Betts' clutch homer lifts Dodgers over Padres 5-4, extending NL West lead to 2 games
The Dodgers opened the three-game series trailing the Padres by a game but they swept their rivals, outscoring San Diego 14-6. The teams meet again starting Friday in San Diego.
After walking and flying out twice, Betts went deep to left off reliever Robert Suarez (4-5) for his second homer in his last nine games, giving the Dodgers a 5-4 lead. Suarez retired the next three batters.
Freddie Freeman hit a two-strike, three-run homer and Andy Pages added a solo shot off Padres starter Yu Darvish in the first, staking starter Tyler Glasnow to a 4-0 lead.
Swinging a bat resembling a pencil on Players' Weekend, Pages' shot came with two outs and was the sixth homer given up by Darvish — all on the road — this season.
After Alex Freeland's leadoff walk in the second, the Dodgers went down in order in the third, fourth and fifth.
San Diego center fielder Jackson Merrill left the game in the fourth.
