Mookie Betts hits a tiebreaking solo homer in the eighth inning, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 5-4 on Sunday.

The Los Angeles Dodgers swept the San Diego Padres in the three-game series at Dodger Stadium. Yu Darvish gave up four runs in the first inning, and the Padres were left clawing back and did so, tying the game up at four in the eighth inning. However, Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts then hit a go-ahead home run that clinched the series.

Hit hard early

The Padres were down by four runs in the first inning, but managed to claw their way back and tie the game in the eighth before the Dodgers again took the lead again and held onto it en route to a 5-4 victory Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium.

See why my Padres vs. Dodgers predictions and MLB picks for August 17 eye the Under. The first two games of the series both resulted in an Under as the San Diego Padres have been slumbering at the plate, managing just two combined runs. With Tyler Glasnow on the hill, it’s hard to predict a quick return to form for San Diego’s bats.
