SAN DIEGO (AP) — Freddie Freeman drew a tiebreaking, bases-loaded walk off suddenly wild Michael King in the fifth inning and Mookie Betts followed with a two-run single for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who beat the San Diego Padres 4-2 Sunday to take two of three.
The two-time defending World Series champion Dodgers, who have baseball's best record at 54-30, extended their lead to 10 games over the Padres in the NL West.
The teams will meet again Thursday through Sunday at Dodger Stadium.
Manny Machado homered off Emmet Sheehan with one out in the fourth to tie it at 1. It was Machado's 15th of the season.
King, who allowed Shohei Ohtani's opposite-field RBI single to left with one out in the third, got into trouble immediately in the fifth when he issued a leadoff walk to Alex Freeland. He got Chuckie Robinson to line out but allowed the next four batters to reach.
