On the mound for Los Angeles, Yoshinobu Yamamoto kept the Padres quiet early on, but in the bottom of the third Elías Díaz flipped the scoreboard with a two-run homer to left-center (105.3 mph; 413 feet), driving in Jake Cronenworth for a 2–1 San Diego lead.

Shohei Ohtani silenced a heckler with his 45th homer as Dodgers beat Padres 8-2, tying for the NL West lead with 31 games remaining.

Shohei Ohtani had a little fun with a heckler during Sunday’s 8-2 win over the Padres. A fan sitting near the Dodgers’ dugout had been giving the star a hard time during the course of the game at Petco Park. So when Ohtani hit a ninth-inning solo home run to extend Los Angeles’ lead to six, he made sure to let the fan have it right back.
