Overview

• Néstor Cortés carried a perfect game into the sixth and worked six scoreless innings as San Diego beat Los Angeles 5-1 at Petco Park.
• The win moved the Padres to 74-56 and put them one game ahead of the Dodgers, who fell to 73-57, in the NL West.
• Ramón Laureano’s two-run single in the fourth and Xander Bogaerts’ two-run double in the eighth supplied the offense, while three relievers limited L.A. to two hits.
• The result followed Friday’s 2-1 opener, when Yu Darvish outpitched Blake Snell with one hit allowed over six frames to pull San Diego even.
• San Diego has won five straight after being swept the previous weekend, and this series marked the teams’ final regular-season meeting.
