LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 Dalton Rushing tied career highs with four hits and four RBIs as the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied from an early six-run deficit for a 12-7 victory over the skidding San Diego Padres on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Kyle Tucker added four hits to equal a career best and reached base five times. Andy Pages tied it with a two-run double in the fourth inning, and the Dodgers scored 12 straight runs to win for the eighth time in 10 games.<\/p>\n
Roki Sasaki gave up six runs over three innings, including three homers, but the Los Angeles bullpen allowed just one run the rest of the way. Will Klein (3-2) worked two scoreless innings to earn the win.<\/p>\n
It was the Dodgers\u2019 biggest comeback victory since they trailed by six runs against the St. Louis Cardinals in 2022.<\/p>\n
Manny Machado, Jackson Merrill and Jake Cronenworth homered in the first two innings for the Padres, who matched a season high with their sixth consecutive loss. Three of those defeats have come against the Dodgers.<\/p>\n
San Diego starter Randy V\u00e1squez gave up four runs and seven hits in three innings before left-hander Wandy Peralta (1-1) permitted four runs and six hits in the fourth.<\/p>\n
Down 6-0, the Dodgers began their comeback with a two-run homer from Rushing in the second. Max Muncy and Tucker each knocked in a run in the third. Pages\u2019 tying double in the fourth was followed by RBI hits from Mookie Betts and Muncy for an 8-6 lead.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles made it 10-6 in the fifth when Tommy Edman hit an RBI double before scoring on a wild pitch. Rushing had a sacrifice fly in the sixth and an RBI single in the eighth.<\/p>\n
Padres catcher Freddy Fermin left in the fifth after he took a foul ball off his mask.<\/p>\n
Padres right-hander Michael King (5-7, 3.55 ERA) will face Dodgers right-hander Shohei Ohtani (8-2, 1.58) in the second game of the series Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 Dalton Rushing tied career highs with four hits and four RBIs as the Los…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":741816,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2407],"tags":[1384,5,92178,2127,871,872,29,1527,1532,87,4,1526,9500,9501,43,9496,9497,39138,7940,137,18,4339,4338,468,880,7943],"class_list":["post-741815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego-padres","tag-andy-pages","tag-baseball","tag-dodgers-padres-score-tucker-rushing","tag-freddy-fermin","tag-jackson-merrill","tag-jake-cronenworth","tag-kyle-tucker","tag-manny-machado","tag-max-muncy","tag-michael-king","tag-mlb","tag-mookie-betts","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-padres","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","tag-product-40776-ap-california-sports-only","tag-randy-vasquez","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-padres","tag-sandiego","tag-sandiegopadres","tag-shohei-ohtani","tag-tommy-edman","tag-wandy-peralta"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=741815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741815\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/741816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=741815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=741815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=741815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
