Darvish throws another gem; Manny Machado, Brandon Drury and Jurickson Profar homer
In the first of their nine games this month against the Dodgers, the Padres on Friday night hit three home runs and got another exceptional outing from Yu Darvish en route to a 7-1 victory, a result they had not achieved much at Dodger Stadium in the past year.
The Padres had lost six of seven games at Dodger Stadium this season and 12 of 13 at the ballpark dating to last September. They led just one inning in a three-game series here last month and two innings during in a four-game series here in July. With nearly one-third of their remaining 29 games against the best team in baseball, the Padres have what appears to be the most difficult path to the playoffs among the NL wild-card contenders.
The Dodgers, who won eight of the first 10 meetings with the Padres this season, are 90-41. That is six games better than any other team and 17 games better than the Padres, who are in second place in the National League West.
