The Dodgers defeated the Padres for the seventh time in nine games this season, with their latest victory Sunday with a 8-2 win.
Freddie Freeman hit a three-run homer and Amed Rosario and Mookie Betts also connected for the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers, who beat San Diego 8-2 on Sunday to spoil Rich Hill's debut with the Padres.
Lance Lynn had an impressive second start for the Dodgers as they defeated the Padres for the seventh time in nine games this season and kept them from reaching .500 for the first time since May 11. Lynn allowed a no-doubt home run to Gary Sánchez in the third inning but otherwise quieted an inconsistent Padres offense that had broken loose Saturday night in an 8-3 win. The 36-year-old Lynn, acquired from the Chicago White Sox on July 28, held the Padres to one run and four hits while striking out six and walking two in six innings. The top four batters in San Diego's order had just one hit, a single by leadoff man Ha-Seong Kim.
Hill , a 43-year-old lefty obtained Tuesday from Pittsburgh along with Ji Man Choi, lasted only three innings in his shortest start of the season. He allowed six runs and four hits. The Padres are Hill's 13th team. He also pitched for the Dodgers from 2016-19.Rosario hit a two-run, opposite-field shot into the right field home run porch with two outs in the first, his fifth. Freeman was aboard after getting hit by a pitch.
