The Los Angeles Dodgers came up short Monday night. So did the San Diego Padres, so the Dodgers remained three games in front of the second-place Padres at press time Tuesday.
Pinch hitter Yohel Pozo scored pinch runner Garrett Hampson with a single to right field in the top of the ninth inning for the winning run in the St. Louis Cardinals’ 3-2 win over the Dodgers at Los Angeles. The Arizona Diamondback beat the Padres 6-2 at Arizona.
The Cardinals-Dodgers and Padres-Diamondbacks series were to resume Tuesday. Â
