Bolsinger Shuts Down Padres, Pederson Hits Hr As Dodgers Win

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mike Bolsinger retired his final 23 batters after giving up a leadoff single in the first inning and Joc Pederson homered, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 2-0 victory over the punchless San Diego Padres on Saturday night. Yangervis Solarte opened the game with a clean hit to right-center field, but was quickly erased on a double-play grounder by Cory Spangenberg, and the Padres didn't get another baserunner. Pederson, who has nine homers and 28 strikeouts in 21 games since he was moved from eighth in the batting order to first on April 29, had a chance to do some more damage in the second inning. The Padres have scored only three runs during their four-game losing streak and are 0-22 this season when trailing after eight innings. RHP Josh Johnson, recovering from Tommy John surgery, was moved from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day DL to make room for De La Rosa on the 40-man roster.
