The Dodgers took over first place in the N.L. West, one game ahead of the Astros, by edging the Padres, 2-1. The Dodgers scored in the first inning when Jack Perconte walked, stole second and tallied on a single by Dusty Baker. Their second run came in the sixth stanza when Rudy Law singled, reached third on a throwing error by Padres pitcher Juan Eichelberger and raced home on Perconte's safe hit on a squeeze bunt.
