The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 15-3, evening the NL West series after the Dodgers lost 7-1 the previous night. Mookie Betts hits a three-run home run that helps cap a nine-run sixth inning, a stretch that becomes the deciding factor in the game. During the same inning, the Dodgers also add more offense, including back-to-back home runs by Kyle Tucker and Dalton Rushing, according to one account. The Dodgers continue to add runs in later innings as Kyle Tucker also contributes a two-run single in a four-run eighth inning. Tommy Edman adds offensive production with extra-base hits, including a double and a triple, and drives in three runs.
On the pitching side, Yoshinobu Yamamoto earns the win, limiting the Padres to two runs and five hits over six innings. The overall scoring margin reflects the Dodgers’ late-inning surge and their ability to pull away after Betts’ homer in the sixth.
