Puig, Turner homer, but Dodgers are outslugged

SAN DIEGO -- Melvin Upton Jr.'s second walk-off home run of the season capped a wild Friday night, as the Padres and Dodgers staged a two-months-early version of the Home Run Derby at Petco Park.

Upton launched a Kenley Jansen cutter to the right-center-field seats, giving the Padres a thrilling come-from-behind victory, 7-6 -- one inning after Justin Turner put the Dodgers on top with a two-run homer of his own.

The Dodgers took a two-run lead in the fifth inning on Yasiel Puig's two-run opposite-field dinger, but it didn't last long.
