Padres seized sole control of the NL West with a 5-1 win over the Dodgers at Petco Park, backed by Yu Darvish and Nestor Cortes as the rotation anchored a series-clinching performance. Laureano’s two-run single after bases-loaded chaos in the fourth opened the door, then Bogaerts padded the lead and Tatis Jr. alongside Machado drew walks to set up insurance in the eighth.

Los Angeles was stifled to two hits, with Freeland’s eighth-inning homer the Dodgers’ only offense. Glasnow labored, and Morejon closed it out for his third save as San Diego stretched a five-game win streak and moved one game ahead of L.A. with 32 games left.

The deadline overhaul, including Laureano and O’Hearn, has bolstered San Diego’s depth as they chase their first title since 2006, while the Dodgers look to rebound in the late-season stretch.
