Miller recovered to get three straight outs for his major league-leading 15th save, inducing Andy Pages&#8217; grounder to third to end it.<\/p>\n<p>Andujar had two of the four hits by the Padres in the opener of a nine-game homestand after an impressive sweep of Seattle last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Shohei Ohtani had two hits for the Dodgers in a pitching-dominated first game of the season between these Southern California rivals.<\/p>\n<p>King (4-2) yielded two walks while reaching season highs in strikeouts and innings, throttling a Dodgers lineup that had scored 40 runs in its past five games, including 31 in its three-game weekend sweep in Anaheim.<\/p>\n<p>World Series MVP Yamamoto (3-4) was almost as sharp, yielding three hits and two walks while striking out eight with no run support.<\/p>\n<p>Andujar came up second in the first inning and delivered a solo shot for his fourth homer of the season, but Yamamoto settled in and allowed only two singles the rest of the way.<\/p>\n<p>King allowed two baserunners in the first five innings on a single and a walk, but catcher Rodolfo Dur\u00e1n promptly threw out both Mookie Betts and Ohtani when they tried to steal second.<\/p>\n<p>Hyeseong Kim and Ohtani reached base with two outs in the eighth against reliever Jason Adam, but Betts grounded to short.<\/p>\n<p>Up next<\/p>\n<p>Griffin Canning (0-2, 10.64 ERA) will attempt to bounce back from consecutive rough outings for the Padres on Tuesday.
