Dodgers End Padres Streak, Tie NL West Lead

News summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 8-2, evening the NL West race at 74-57 with 31 games remaining in the regular season. Freddie Freeman hit two home runs in back-to-back innings, including a tying solo shot and a two-run blast, while rookie Dalton Rushing contributed a key three-run homer in the seventh inning. Shohei Ohtani added his 45th homer in the ninth, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched six strong innings, allowing four hits and striking out six to secure the win. Despite the Padres' strong starting pitching performances from Nick Pivetta and others, their five-game winning streak ended, partly due to bullpen struggles. Mookie Betts also had a notable offensive contribution with three hits, and a spectacular defensive play by Ramon Laureano robbed the Dodgers of an early grand slam. The victory marked a significant offensive resurgence for the Dodgers after being held to just two runs in the first two games of the series.
