The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres, 3-2, on Friday night. LA improved to 69-53 and move into a tie with the Friars for first place in the NL West.
Ahead of the eventual victory, the Dodgers added a first baseman to the club. In a corresponding move, a right-handed pitcher was designated for assignment.
Unfortunately, All-Star third baseman Max Muncy was placed on the injured list a little more than a week after he returned from a month-long stint on the shelf. Manager Dave Roberts is confident that the slugger will return before the end of the regular season.
