Pitching, power propel Dodgers

Urias’ arm, four HRS sink Padres

LOS ANGELES — Julio Urias continued to solidify his spot atop Los Angeles’ rotation while Mookie Betts hit one of the Dodgers’ four home runs in a 12-1 victory over San Diego on Saturday that ended their three-game skid.

Trea Turner, Justin Turner and Will Smith also homered as the Dodgers ended their first slide of three games since they were swept by San Francisco in June. Betts’ home run was his career-best 33rd.

Manny Machado homered for the Padres, who had won four in a row.

Urias (15-7) allowed one run on two hits over six innings to earn a win for the 11th time in his past 13 starts. In the process, he has moved atop a talented rotation that has been forced to make adjustments.

Staff ace Walker Buehler is out for the season after Tommy John surgery, Clayton Kershaw is just returning from his second injured list stint, and All-star Tony Gonsolin is on the IL with a forearm strain.

San Diego starter Sean Manaea (7-8) gave up eight runs on nine hits over 4⅓ innings while allowing three homers. He has a 15.63 ERA in three starts against the Dodgers this season.

■ Brewers 8, Diamondbacks 6: At Phoenix, Tyrone Taylor hit a solo homer in the Milwaukee fifth and a go-ahead two-run shot in the 10th. Rowdy Tellez tied it for the Brewers with a solo shot in the ninth. Rookie Corbin Carroll hit an RBI single in the first to become the fourth Arizona player, and first since 2009, with six RBIS in his first five games.

■ Angels 2, Astros 1: At Anaheim, Calif., Matt Duffy flared a walk-off RBI single to center field with two outs in the 12th. Los Angeles starter Shohei Ohtani allowed one run in eight innings, and Houston starter Luis Garcia gave up one run in seven innings.
