This is a 10* on LOS ANGELES

The Dodgers need more innings like the 8th of last night’s game. They scored four times in that frame, putting the finishing touches on a much-needed 6-0 win over the divisional rival Padres. Los Angeles had lost to San Diego each of the previous two days, scoring just three runs total in the process. But despite this mini “slump,” Dodger Blue continues to rank among the NL leaders in runs scored this year. So does San Diego, which wasn’t as expected. The Padres couldn’t get much of anything going at the plate last night, however. Here they’ll go up against Julio Urias. Urias was going to start Wednesday, but got pushed back to today, giving him one extra day of rest. In three starts, Urias has given up only four runs. He’s also yet to allow a home run. Chris Paddack of San Diego has allowed four HR’s in his last three starts, which is a concern facing a Dodgers lineup that had homered in every game but two coming into the series. The Padres are giving up nearly 5.5 runs/game on the road. Play on LA DODGERS
