LOS ANGELES (AP) — Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out 10 in seven innings, Freddie Freeman homered and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat San Diego 3-0 on Saturday night, handing the Padres their eighth consecutive loss.

After wiggling out of a first-inning jam when the Padres had runners on first and third, Yamamoto (9-5) settled in to match a season high with the 10 strikeouts while allowing three hits. He had his second win over the Padres in eight days.
