SAN DIEGO (AP) — Mat Latos bounced back from stomach flu to strike out 10 for the third time in four starts, pitching the NL West-leading San Diego Padres to a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night.
Latos held Los Angeles to four hits in seven innings. He set a big league record with his 15th straight start of five or more innings with two or fewer runs allowed. He had been tied with Greg Maddux (1993-94) and Mike Scott (1986) with 14.
Latos (14-5) also lowered his major league-leading ERA from 2.25 to 2.21. His 10 strikeouts matched his career high, and his 113 pitches were a career high. He walked none.
