Kershaw on the mound.

Dave Roberts said the hope is the Dodgers activate Justin Turner tomorrow. He would DH.

Roberts repeated that he believes Dustin May will start Wednesday.

So it’s looking like it will be Kershaw, Gonsolin, May vs. San Diego.

Justin Turner is taking BP here on the field at Petco Park. Dave Roberts said he’ll be activated and DH tomorrow if all goes well pregame tonight.

Clayton Kershaw through 4 innings: 1 H, 0 BB, 6 K. 58 pitches, 42 strikes.

5 of the 6 strikeouts have been whiffs on sliders. The other was on a fastball looking. He’s topped out at 93 mph.

Trent Grisham just crushed a solo home run off Clayton Kershaw and enjoyed looking at it for a bit. Looks like he and the Dodgers bench exchanged some pleasantries.

It’s 1-1 in the 6th.

Clayton Kershaw’s night is over. He left with runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out in the 7th inning. He had 9 strikeouts without a walk.

Pedro Báez enters with the game tied at 1.

The Dodgers have fallen apart in the 7th inning. With help from 3 defensive miscues, the Padres have scored 3 runs to take a 4-1 lead.

Pedro Báez is out. Blake Treinen is in with 1 out and runners at 1st and 2nd.

The Padres scored 5 runs in the 7th inning to take a 6-1 lead. They have 6 outs to rebound.

The Dodgers lost, 7-2, to the Padres. Their lead in the NL West is down to 1.5 games. They’re 33-15.

Dave Roberts said he “took exception” to Trent Grisham not showing the respect he believes he should’ve shown to a pitcher like Clayton Kershaw. He said he has no problem with players admiring home runs but he thinks a pitcher of Kershaw’s caliber deserves more respect.
