LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers didn’t hit a home run and were the ones with lots of base runners and not much to show for it this time.
The Padres finally could show how they often win games — waiting out a good starting pitcher and eventually pouncing.
This one was extreme, even for them, as they avoided being swept at Dodger Stadium this weekend by winning for just the second time this season in a game in which they trailed after eight innings.
