SD 1, LAD 2: Padres bust the Dodgers' scoring slump

The Padres had a chance to lessen the gap in the standings between themselves and the Dodgers tonight.

They did not.

It was an affair of the low-scoring variety. The division-leading Dodgers came into this game fresh off a sweep by the Giants and riding a 31-inning scoreless streak. The Padres offense continued to struggle, and facing Zack Greinke didn't help.

Greinke's night lasted 7 2/3 innings long. He allowed one run on six hits and a walk while collecting five strikeouts.

Andrew Cashner, to his credit, had a solid outing and kept the Padres in the game.
