Mookie Betts hit a two-run home run and Tony Gonsolin pitched five scoreless innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers continued their dominance over the visiting San Diego Padres with a 4-0 victory Sunday.
Rookie Miguel Vargas had a two-run double for the Dodgers to finish off a three-game sweep that was their 11th consecutive regular-season series victory over the Padres. Los Angeles has gone 28-6 against San Diego in that stretch.
Padres left-hander Ryan Weathers gave up four runs over 5 2/3 innings in his return to the major leagues as San Diego saw its losing streak reach five games. Weathers started the season in the major leagues but was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on April 26. Weathers was solid the first time through the Dodgers' order, but he gave up a double to No. 8 hitter Miguel Rojas in the third inning. Betts cashed in that runner from the leadoff spot with a home run to center field, his ninth of the season.
