Clayton Kershaw fired six innings of one-run ball to help the Dodgers snap a four-game losing streak Friday night and tie up the NL West again with a 3-2 win over the Padres.

“Clayton Kershaw held the Padres to 1 run in six innings of work. He did it with a fastball that averaged 89.7 mph. This man has given every single ounce of everything he's ever had to the Dodgers for 18 years. Competitive greatness," Dodgers' Nation Doug McKain wrote.

Los Angeles Dodgers star pitcher Clayton Kershaw laughs off San Diego Padres rivalry, comments made by closer Mason Miller.

Padres catcher Freddy Fermin crashed into the padded railing in front of the camera well next to San Diego's dugout trying to make a foul catch on Andy Pages. Fermin hit the railing with his chest and the ball was jarred loose. He stayed in the game.

Things sure have changed since the last time the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers clashed, back in June. The Dodgers were running away in the NL West then with a nine-game lead. The Padres were in third place.

One of the best rivalries in baseball resumes this weekend in Southern California when the Los Angeles Dodgers host the San Diego Padres for three games at Dodger Stadium. The NL West remains very much up for grabs with six weeks and one weekend to play in the 2025 regular season.
