Justin Turner hit a pair of home runs, including a seventh-inning grand slam, and Max Muncy broke a 2–2 tie with a two-run single in the sixth inning Sunday afternoon as the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers routed San Diego 11–2 to wrap up an eighth straight series win against the Padres on Sept. 11.

The loss reduced the Padres’ edge over the Milwaukee Brewers to two games in the race for the third National League wild-card berth.
