The Padres scored twice in the third on consecutive doubles by Jon Jay, Wil Myers and Matt Kemp. The Dodgers tied the game in the bottom of the inning when Rea walked Stripling leading off and Chase Utley homered.
After striking out the first two batters in the fifth inning, Stripling walked Myers and Kemp, then Upton doubled them home and Upton scored on Alexei Ramirez’s RBI single. Rea, who went six innings, is 2-1, while Stripling, who was charged with five runs in 4 2/3 innings, is 0-2.
