Dodgers blank Padres 6-0 to seize NL West lead, anchored by Teoscar Hernández’s homer and an RBI sac fly, and a multi-hit night from Ohtani. Freeman added a second-inning two-run knock as L.A. chased Dylan Cease early, piling on with Hernández’s 20th homer in the fifth. Blake Snell matched six scoreless innings for the Dodgers, while San Diego’s starter labored with six walks and three miscues in two frames.

LA will face San Diego again Sunday with Yu Darvish starting for the Padres and Tyler Glasnow for the Dodgers, then another three-game series in SD next week. For fantasy fans, the Dodgers’ top-heavy lineup—Ohtani, Hernández, Freeman—remains a premium stack, while Padres pitchers potentially provide pivot points if Cease can settle in and Darvish squared off against the LA attack.
