Turner's bloop double in 12th lifts Dodgers over Padres 5-4
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The power went out for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but not their luck.
Justin Turner blooped an RBI double to drive in Matt Kemp from second base on the first pitch after a 20-minute power outage in the 12th inning, giving the Dodgers an odd 5-4 victory over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.
"That," said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, "was a weird one."
Manny Machado and Max Muncy each hit their 30th home run of the season, and the Dodgers overcame a third consecutive blown save by All-Star closer Kenley Jansen after Clayton Kershaw threw eight strong innings.
The power went out in the 12th with Kemp standing at second base and one out.
