Dodgers Win See-Saw Battle With Padres, 4-3

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Alex Guerrero's pinch-hit single drove in the tie-breaking run in the eighth inning, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Friday night.

Derek Norris hit a two-run homer in the seventh off reliever Yimi Garcia to give the Padres a 3-2 lead. But the Dodgers bounced right back with two runs off relievers Dale Thayer (2-1) and Shawn Kelley.

Howie Kendrick, who led off with a double against Thayer and went to third on an error, scored on Justin Turner's single to tie it 3-all. With two outs, Andre Ethier scored on Guerrero's single off Kelley.

Norris' homer capped a three-run inning that ruined Clayton Kershaw's bid to win his fourth straight start.
