Dodgers’ three home runs are not enough in 6-5 loss to Padres

Rookie Hunter Renfroe hit the first home run in Petco Park’s 12-year history to land on the roof of the brick warehouse in the left-field corner and drove in four runs to lead the San Diego Padres to a 6-5 victory over the Dodgers on Wednesday night.

With one out in the third inning, Renfroe drove a two-run homer against Jose De Leon onto the top of the Western Metal Supply Co. building. It went an estimated 435 feet.

Renfroe, the most valuable player of the triple-A Pacific Coast League, has four homers and 12 runs batted in since being called up from El Paso on Sept. 21.

He drove in all seven runs in San Diego’s 7-1 victory over the Dodgers on Tuesday night with a grand slam and a three-run homer.

The Dodgers remain two games behind the Washington Nationals in the race for home-field advantage for their National League division series matchup, with four games to play in the regular season.

The Dodgers lost despite hitting three home runs against rookie Luis Perdomo (9-10). Brandon Maurer pitched the ninth for his 13th save.

Chase Utley hit a leadoff homer to left field and Adrian Gonzalez hit a shot deep into the seats in right field with two outs in the first inning.

The Padres took a 3-2 lead against De Leon after loading the bases with one out in first inning. Renfroe hit a two-run single and rookie Ryan Schimpf followed with a run-scoring double.

Gonzalez hit a double to tie the score in the third inning before Renfroe gave the Padres a 5-3 lead with his homer.

The Dodgers tied it on Joc Pederson’s two-run homer to right field in the fourth inning.

San Diego regained the lead in the bottom of the inning when rookie Manuel Margot doubled against Ross Stripling (5-9) and scored on Wil Myers’ groundout.

Perdomo gave up five runs and seven hits in five innings, struck out two batters and walked one.

De Leon gave up five runs and four hits in 21/3 innings, struck out one and walked three.
