LOS ANGELES — The first time through the top of the Dodgers’ order on Saturday night, San Diego Padres starter Mike Clevinger made only one bad pitch, hanging a slider that Will Smith hit for a home run.
The second time, Clevinger survived one tenuous inning, limiting the Dodgers to one run again despite facing a two-on, one-out jam in the third.
By the time the Dodgers’ order turned over for a third time, the Padres had given Clevinger a one-run lead.
