LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers saw their 2017 strategy turned against them Saturday as the Padres used a cohesive bullpen and plenty of long balls to earn a 7-5 victory at Dodger Stadium.
Christian Villanueva hit two home runs, while Freddy Galvis and former Dodger A.J. Ellis each added one. The Padres' bullpen, meanwhile, went the final 4 1/3 innings without giving up a run.
The Dodgers went deep twice but had trouble keeping pace with the free-swinging Padres. Chris Taylor led off the first inning with his seventh home run, while Justin Turner added his first big fly of the season in the fourth.
