A three-game Dodgers winning streak ended as a home run by San Diego Padres catcher Raffy Lopez rattled into the Padres bullpen in the sixth inning of a 7-4 defeat.
A night after achieving the first combined no-hitter in franchise history, the Dodgers pitching staff looked rickety once more. Kenta Maeda lasted only five innings, giving up three runs in the process. Fields stumbled as the first man out of the bullpen to replace Maeda. In the eighth, the Padres charged Daniel Hudson for two more runs. An offensive surge led by Matt Kemp was not enough.
The prospect of back-to-back no-hitters vanished during the first at-bat with Maeda on the mound.
