Steve Yeager belted his second homer of the game with two on and two out in the 12th inning, giving him four hits and five RBIs in the game and powering the Dodgers to a 6-3 triumph over the Padres. Yeager had clouted a two-run homer in the seventh to wipe out a 2-0 deficit and also contributed a triple and single in five at-bats. [The Sporting News]
