A familiar story cost Clayton Kershaw an 11th win in his last 14 starts against the San Diego Padres, but the Los Angeles Dodgers still managed to claw out a 5-4 walk-off win in 12 innings thanks to Justin Turner’s bloop single.
That came one pitch after a power outage at Dodger Stadium put the game into a 19-minute delay. Turner didn’t wait long, driving in the winning run on the first pitch he saw.
The Dodgers needed his heroics because Kenley Jansen surrendered a game-tying solo home run to Austin Hedges with one out in the ninth inning.
