LOS ANGELES — On his 34th birthday, Freddie Freeman brought the presents, hitting a home run, matching his season high with four hits and also providing the atmosphere for an 11-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.
Right-hander Lance Lynn marked the occasion by being stingy toward the Padres. He did give up a home run to increase his major league-leading total to 41, but it was a solo shot by Fernando Tatis Jr. that merely cut the Dodgers’ lead to 7-2. Lynn had given up eight home runs over his previous three outings.
In the third inning, Kiké Hernandez led off with a single and scored on Freeman’s one-out line drive over the left-center wall, his 26th home run of the season and his first since Aug. 30 against the Diamondbacks. Tatis’ home run off Lynn came with two outs and one batter after center fielder James Outman made a diving catch on a fly ball to shallow center by Jurickson Profar.
