LOS ANGELES ? Matt Kemp got his career-high 102nd RBI, Rod Barajas hit a two-run homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 4-2 on Wednesday to complete a three-game series sweep.
It was the eighth win in nine games for the Dodgers, who went 17-11 in August to move into third place in the NL West. The Padres lost their season-high seventh in a row and finished 1-7 on their eight-game trip.
Los Angeles starter Ted Lilly (9-13) allowed two runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings. He had a season-high four walks in his ninth career win over the Padres ? his most against a single opponent.
Javy Guerra pitched the ninth to earn his 13th save in 14 chances.
Wade LeBlanc (2-4) gave up four runs and six hits in six innings for San Diego.
Kemp's single to left in the first inning gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. He failed to score a run, ending his streak at seven games.
LeBlanc tied it with a two-out RBI single in the second that was preceded by consecutive walks by Lilly.
The Dodgers took the lead for good when Barajas hit a 3-1 pitch off the left-field foul pole in the bottom of the second. Barajas' 15th homer drove in James Loney, who was aboard on a leadoff walk.
Loney's RBI single into the left-field corner extended the Dodgers' lead to 4-1 in the fourth.
The Padres' other run came on Alberto Gonzalez's RBI double in the sixth.
