Dodgers clinch 5-4 win over Padres on Andy Pages' 9‑pitch heroics

Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the San Diego Padres 5‑4, evening the series and moving back into the top spot in the NL West. The decisive moment came in the ninth inning when rookie Andy Pages faced closer Mason Miller in a nine‑pitch battle and drove a sacrifice fly that produced the go‑ahead run.

The win marked Miller’s first loss as a Padre and featured key contributions from Freddie Freeman, who hit an early two‑run homer, and Shohei Ohtani, who was on base when the game‑winning run scored. Dodgers reliever Will Klein recorded his first career save as the bullpen held the Padres scoreless after Pages’ heroics.

The victory underscores the Dodgers’ late‑inning resilience and keeps them atop the division standings.
