Overview

• The Dodgers beat the Padres 8-2 at Petco Park to avoid a sweep and move into a tie for the NL West lead.
• Rookie Dalton Rushing broke a 2-2 game with a three-run shot to right in the seventh off Jeremiah Estrada after an Andy Pages single and a Michael Conforto walk.
• Freddie Freeman homered twice, tying the game in the sixth against Nick Pivetta and adding a two-run insurance blast later in the seventh.
• Shohei Ohtani added his 45th home run in the ninth, tying Kyle Schwarber for the National League lead, after entering the inning hitless in the series.
• Yoshinobu Yamamoto worked six innings with only a two-run homer by Elias Díaz allowed, as the rivals leave San Diego tied with roughly a month left and no games remaining against each other.
