LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matt Kemp got his career-high 102nd RBI, Rod Barajas hit a two-run homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 4-2 on Wednesday to complete a three-game series sweep.
It was the eighth win in nine games for the Dodgers, who went 17-11 in August to move into third place in the NL West. The Padres lost their season-high seventh in a row and finished 1-7 on their eight-game trip.
Los Angeles starter Ted Lilly (9-13) allowed two runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings. He had a season-high four walks in his ninth career win over the Padres — his most against a single opponent.
Javy Guerra pitched the ninth to earn his 13th save in 14 chances.
Wade LeBlanc (2-4) gave up four runs and six hits in six innings for San Diego.
