KEY MOMENT: Kevin Correia moved from the rotation to the bullpen, but the results were the same. Correia gave up the winning run to the Padres in a nightmarish 12th inning. He gave up a leadoff single to Alexi Amarista and walked Yangervis Solarte with one out. Correia than uncorked a wild pitch that advanced the runners to second and third base. Correia walked Abraham Almonte to load the bases. Seth Smith hit into a forceout at home. The game ended when Correia served up a walk-off single to Yasmani Grandal.

ON THE MOUND: Dan Haren pitched well, limiting the Padres to two runs (one earned) and five hits over six innings. Jamey Wright, J.P. Howell, Brian Wilson, Pedro Baez, Carlos Frias and Brandon League combined to pitch five scoreless innings.

AT THE PLATE: When Hanley Ramirez left the game in the bottom of the eighth inning, he was a triple short of the cycle. Ramirez drove in two runs, the first on a third-inning double and the other on an eighth-inning solo home run. Andrew Cashner, the Padres’ hard-throwing starting pitcher, held the Dodgers to a run and six hits over six innings.
