Dodgers tally 3 in the 6th, comeback to beat Padres

Dodgers 5 Padres 4 LAD: 15-6 SD: 12-11

LOS ANGELES — Corey Seager’s two-run single in the sixth inning provided the go-ahead runs and the Los Angeles Dodgers overcame another two-homer night by Fernando Tatis Jr. to defeat the San Diego Padres 5-4 on Saturday.

San Diego threatened in the ninth, putting the potential tying run in scoring position with one out, but Kenley Jansen retired Tatis on a grounder and struck out Trent Grisham for his fifth save.

The NL West rivals have split six meetings this season, with the Padres winning the previous three.

San Diego took a 3-2 lead after Tatis led off the sixth with a shot to center field off Trevor Bauer, ending a run of 11 straight batters set down by the right-hander. Tatis is the first opposing player to have multi-homer games on consecutive nights at Dodger Stadium since San Francisco slugger Barry

Bonds in 2002.

Los Angeles responded with a three-run burst in the bottom of the sixth. The Dodgers tied it when Mookie Betts drew a walk from Pierce Johnson (0-1) with the bases loaded and took their first lead when Seager laced a single to right.

Bauer (3-0), the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner, is 3-0 for the second straight season. He struck out nine but struggled through the first two innings. He allowed a leadoff home run for the fourth time in his career when Tatis drove his cutter over the wall in left-center.

San Diego took a 2-0 lead in the second. Wil Myers began the inning with a single on the 13th pitch of his atbat, stole second and scored on Jurickson Profar’s single.

Los Angeles tied it 2-all on RBI singles by Justin Turner in the third inning and Sheldon Neuse in the fourth.
