SAN DIEGO -- Christian Villanueva gave San Diego an early lead on Monday night with his third homer as many games. An inning later, the Padres would, quite literally, let that lead slip through their fingers.
Villanueva, Hunter Renfroe and Jose Pirela all turned routine plays into errors, and the Dodgers took full advantage in a 10-3 victory at Petco Park. It was a sloppy showing from the Friars after an encouraging weekend in which they won three straight.
Left-hander Robbie Erlin -- given the start in place of Luis Perdomo, who was suspended for his role in last week's brawl -- didn't get much help from his defense.
