The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 6-3 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Monday. Shohei Ohtani made his pitching debut for the Dodgers, where he threw 28 pitches in the first inning.

The Padres have lost back-to-back series against NL West opponents, including two of three to LA last week in San Diego. The Padres are two games off the Dodgers’ pace in the NL West and in possession of the NL’s third wild-card spot, one game behind the Giants. The Padres’ plus-25 run differential ranks 12th in the majors.
