LOS ANGELES -- Brandon McCarthy won his second consecutive start after returning from Tommy John surgery, with the Dodgers bullpen finishing off the final four innings of a three-hitter and 4-3 win over the Padres on Saturday afternoon at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers broke a 3-3 tie in the fifth inning when Justin Turner disrupted a potential double-play with his slide into second base, causing San Diego shortstop Alexei Ramirez to make an errant throw to first base that allowed Corey Seager to score from second. San Diego challenged that the slide was illegal, but the original call was confirmed.
