Guerrero's pinch-hit single lifts Dodgers over Padres, 4-3

SAN DIEGO — If this was Clayton Kershaw struggling, the San Diego Padres don't want any part of him when he's on.

After breezing through six innings, Kershaw was lifted in the seventh and Los Angeles squandered the lead before pinch-hitter Alex Guerrero singled home the tiebreaking run to lead the Dodgers to a 4-3 victory Friday night.

Kershaw subdued the Padres through six innings, but the game had two big shifts in the seventh and eighth.

Derek Norris hit a two-run homer in the seventh off winner Yimi Garcia to give the Padres a 3-2 lead.
