MLB

SAN DIEGO, CA — The San Diego Padres edged the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 at Petco Park, with Manny Machado delivering the go-ahead run in the late innings.

Los Angeles struck first with two runs in the opening frame, as Kyle Tucker and Mookie Betts drove in runs. The Padres answered in the bottom half when Xander Bogaerts launched a 396-foot homer off Tyler Glasnow.

San Diego pulled even in the fourth as Jake Cronenworth singled to left, bringing home a run from second to make it 2-2. Both offenses then went quiet over the next three innings.

In the ninth, Adrián Morejón worked into trouble after allowing a leadoff single to Tucker. After striking out Max Muncy, he gave way to Jeremiah Estrada, who struck out Teoscar Hernández and Betts to end the threat.

In the bottom half, Bryce Johnson singled and stole second before advancing to third on a groundout by Fernando Tatis Jr. Machado followed with a deep fly to center, scoring Johnson for the 3-2 lead.

Mason Miller closed it out in the top of the ninth, retiring the side to earn his 23rd save.
