Dodgers score 5 two-out runs off Padres starter Michael King in 7-0 victory
Tommy Edman and Will Smith homered as Los Angeles used eight pitchers for its fifth shutout in franchise history when deploying that many.
- On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 7-0, securing their fifth consecutive victory. Tommy Edman and Will Smith homered in the series opener, extending the Dodgers' September success to 15-5.
- Freddie Freeman drove in three runs as the Dodgers' offense capitalized on two-out opportunities to score five runs. Michael King was chased after four innings in his career-high 32nd start of the season.
- Eight Dodgers pitchers combined for a shutout, limiting the Padres to five hits. Returning from the injured list, Roki Sasaki pitched a scoreless inning, striking out two with fastballs registering between 99.7 and 100.1 mph.
- The win moves the Los Angeles Dodgers within one game of the Milwaukee Brewers for the National League's top seed. The Padres' five-game winning streak ended; Los Angeles needs one win or an Atlanta Braves loss to clinch a first-round bye.
