SAN DIEGO, California - Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched six innings of two-run ball to earn his eighth win of the season as the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the San Diego Padres 15-3 on Saturday.
Yamamoto (8-5) allowed five hits, including a solo homer, and two walks, while striking out four at Petco Park.
Fellow Japanese star Shohei Ohtani collected two singles to finish 2-for-5.
In other Major League Baseball action, Seiya Suzuki delivered a go-ahead, two-run home run, his 12th of the season, as the Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-2.
In the fourth inning, Suzuki went deep for the second consecutive game and finished 2-for-5 with two RBIs at American Family Field.
"I was a bit late on the pitch, but I made good contact, so the ball stayed fair and carried," the Japanese slugger said. "Even when I'm feeling good, sometimes the hits just don't fall, but today I was able to drive that one well."
