Padres 5, Dodgers 2
LOS ANGELES — Will Venable scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch by reliever Matt Guerrier with two outs in the eighth, and the Padres got two other runs on dropped throws at home plate. The Dodgers' Andre Ethier extended his hitting streak to 26 games, a record for April. Heath Bell got the save. He has converted 40 in a row, one shy of Trevor Hoffman's franchise record.
