<p>A throwing error on a sure double play ball allowed the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.truebluela.com/">Dodgers</a> to score the go-ahead run, and the bullpen continued its Herculean effort to beat the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.gaslampball.com/">Padres</a> 4-3 on Saturday afternoon at Dodger Stadium.</p>
<p>The Dodgers bullpen pitched four more scoreless innings on Saturday, lowering their ERA to 1.64 in a whopping 44 innings in nine games on this homestand, with 52 strikeouts against nine walks.</p>
<p>That includes eight strikeouts in four perfect innings on Saturday by five different pitchers.</p>
<p>It was a game of call and response early on. <span>Yangervis Solarte</span> hit a two-run home run in the first inning, then the Dodgers answered back with a run of their own in the bottom of the frame, with <span>Adrian Gonzalez</span> doubling home <span>Chase Utley</span>.</p>
<p>Padres starter <span>Luis Perdomo</span> retired seven straight after that, but the Dodgers loaded the bases against him with nobody out in the fourth inning. <span>Howie Kendrick</span> hit a bouncing double down the third base line to cash in two runs and give the Dodgers a 3-2 lead.</p>
<p>Kendrick is hitting .303/.378/.545 with six extra-base hits in nine July games.</p>
<p>San Diego answered right back with a run in the fifth, with <span>Alexei Ramirez</span> doubling off <span>Brandon McCarthy</span> to start the inning, then scoring on a bloop single to left center field by <span>Travis Jankowski</span>.</p>
<p>McCarthy was pulled after the fifth inning and 77 pitches in his second start back from Tommy John surgery, with six strikeouts and three walks. It marked the seventh straight game the Dodgers didn't have a starter record an out in the sixth inning.</p>
<p>The Dodgers were able to answer back in the sixth inning with back-to-back singles by <span>Corey Seager</span> and <span>Justin Turner</span>. That brought up Gonzalez, who grounded a 3-0 pitch into what should have been an easy double play, but Ramiirez at shortstop threw wildly to first, which not only allowed Gonzalez to reach base but also allowed Seager to score the go-ahead run.</p>
<p>The Dodgers bullpen was tasked with an extended effort yet again, and they came through. Among the superlatives was <span>Adam Liberatore</span>, who struck out both batters he faced. It was the 24th consecutive scoreless appearance for the left-hander, breaking the record previously held by John Candelaria in 1991.</p>
<p>Liberatore during his scoreless streak has allowed five hits and six walks, two of them intentional, and hit one batter, while striking out 23 in 18⅔ innings.</p>
<h4>Up next</h4>
<p>The Dodgers close out the unofficial first half and go for a series win on Sunday afternoon, sending <span>Kenta Maeda</span> to the mound. The Padres will throw left-hander <span>Christian Friedrich</span> in the finale.</p>
<h4>Saturday particulars</h4>

<p><b>WP - Brandon McCarthy (2-0)</b>: 5 IP, 3 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks, 6 strikeouts</p>

<p>While the <a href="https://www.truebluela.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Dodgers</a> roll out the same lineup on Saturday that scored 10 runs on Friday, including the main culprit <span>Yasmani Grandal</span> behind the plate against the <a href="https://www.gaslampball.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Padres</a>, here are some pregame notes about <span>Julio Urias</span>, <span>Clayton Kershaw</span> and others.</p>
<p>Julio Urias, who was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, will pitch an inning in relief this weekend, manager <span>Dave Roberts</span> told reporters on Saturday, <a href="https://twitter.com/jphoornstra/status/751875830268047361" target="_blank">per J.P. Hoornstra of the LA Daily News</a>.</p>
<p>As Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register noted, the Dodgers <a href="https://twitter.com/billplunkettocr/status/751876775567716352" target="_blank">haven't revealed their full plan</a> but <a href="https://twitter.com/billplunkettocr/status/751877227206340608" target="_blank">don't plan to completely shut down the left-hander</a>, and using him in relief occasionally in the minors would get him used to the role. This makes sense should the Dodgers opt to use him in that manor in the <i>majors</i> in September or October.</p>

<p>Urias is already at 77⅓ innings between the majors and minors combined in 2016, after throwing 80⅓ innings in 2015. He was never going to be able to start the entire season, and this current planned usage was something Andrew Friedman discussed when Urias was first called up in May.</p>
<p>"He's not a guy whether it's in Triple-A or the major leagues can make a start every fifth day through the balance of the year," Friedman said in May. "You want to make sure he gets the range he wants, but you have to balance the 'right now' part of the season with potentially September as well, having as many capable arms as possible."</p>
<p>In other Dodgers left-hander news, Clayton Kershaw threw on Saturday on the field at Dodger Stadium from 120 feet, described by <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/kengurnick/status/751852041299824640">Ken Gurnick of MLB.com</a> "as hard as he usually would when healthy."</p>
<p>Gurnick added that Kershaw <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/kengurnick/status/751852518037032961">later threw from 60 feet from a windup off flat ground</a>.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.truebluela.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Dodgers</a> catcher <span>Yasmani Grandal</span> had the best game of his career on Friday night, and with his three home runs joined select company in franchise history, joining Hall of Famers Roy Campanella and <span>Mike Piazza</span> as the only catchers to do so. But with Grandal's five-hit game he is also working on another rare feat in Dodgers history.</p>
<p>Grandal on the season has 12 home runs and eight doubles, but has just 39 hits, hitting .204/.317/.415 on the season. That gives Grandal 20 extra-base hits and 19 singles on the season, something that is quite rare.</p>
<p>In club history, among all players with at least 30 hits in a season, <a target="_blank" href="http://bbref.com/pi/shareit/kzcos">only four times through 2015 has a Dodgers player had more extra-base hits than singles</a>.</p>
<p>Duke Snider did it twice, first in Brooklyn in 1957, with 40 home runs, 25 doubles, seven triples and 67 singles in 139 games. With 592 plate appearances, Snider has more than double any other player on the list, and is the only Dodger to have more extra-base hits than singles with enough PA to qualify for the batting title.</p>
<p>Snider in 1960 had 32 extra-base hits and 25 singles in 101 games, this time calling the Coliseum in Los Angeles home.</p>
<p>Lee Lacy was next to join the club, with 16 doubles, 13 home runs and four triples in 103 games in 1978, to go along with his 31 singles.</p>
<p><span>David Ross</span> in 2003 had a remarkable year, foreshadowing his future as one of the best backup catchers ever, with 10 home runs in 40 games and 140 plate appearances. Ross had seven doubles to go along with that, and 15 singles.</p>
<p>Grandal, with his 20 extra-base hits and 19 singles in 2016, isn't alone on the team in this regard. <span>Joc Pederson</span> has 16 home runs and 13 doubles this season, giving him 29 extra-base hits and just 25 singles. He came reasonably close to joining the club in 2015, with 46 extra-base hits and 55 singles.</p>
<p>The closest Grandal came to having more extra-base hits than singles was in 2013 with the <a href="https://www.gaslampball.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Padres</a>, when he had eight doubles, a home run and 10 singles in 28 games.</p>
<p>Fox will televise Saturday's game agains the Padres, with <span>Brandon McCarthy</span> making his second start of the season, facing Rule 5 pick <span>Luis Perdomo</span> for San Diego.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.gaslampball.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Padres</a> come to town to finish off the pre-All-Star break schedule, with four games against the <a href="https://www.truebluela.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Dodgers</a> at Dodger Stadium. Here is a look at the schedule for the series as well as the probable starting pitchers.</p>
<h4>Thursday, 7:10 p.m. PT (SportsNet LA, MLB Network)</h4>
<p><span>Hyun-jin Ryu</span> makes his first start in a major league game that counts for the first time in 640 days, since Game 4 of the 2014 NLDS. Ryu before shoulder surgery was 4-0 with a 0.84 ERA in five career starts against the Padres, with 32 strikeouts and five walks in 32⅓ innings.</p>
<p><span>Drew Pomeranz</span> has been a bright spot for the Padres this season, putting up a 2.65 ERA and 3.20 FIP in 16 starts, with 109 strikeouts in 95 innings. His 10.1-percent walk rate is on the high side (National League starting pitchers have a 7.7-percent walk rate in 2016), but in his last three starts he has two total walks to go with his 20 strikeouts and a 1.80 ERA in 20 innings.</p>
<h4>Friday, 7:10 p.m. (SportsNet LA)</h4>
<p><span>Scott Kazmir</span> has faced the Padres twice this season, both in San Diego, and had wildly different results. The left-hander retired his final 17 batters faced on April 5, with six scoreless innings, five strikeouts and no walks. Kazmir also struck out five in 5⅔ innings on May 20 at Petco Park, but also walked a career-high seven while allowing five runs, including two home runs.</p>
<p><span>Andrew Cashner</span> has been on the disabled list twice this season, missing 14 games in May with a right hamstring strain, then missing 19 games in June and July with a strained neck. Since returning from that second DL trip, Cashner has made only one start, and it was a good one, striking out six in six innings, allowing two runs (only one earned) in a no-decision against the <a href="https://www.pinstripealley.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Yankees</a> on Sunday.</p>
<h4>Saturday, 4:15 p.m. (Fox)</h4>
<p><span>Brandon McCarthy</span> makes his second start since activation from the disabled list, following up his eight-strikeout performance in five scoreless innings in his 2016 debut on Sunday. He also gets an extra day of rest this time through the rotation, as does Kazmir.</p>
<p><span>Luis Perdomo</span> is the second Luis Perdomo to pitch for the Padres, and both are right-handers from the Dominican Republic. This incarnation is a 23-year-old who was a Rule 5 pick from the <a href="https://www.vivaelbirdos.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Cardinals</a> in December, with a 7.93 ERA, 53 strikeouts and 26 walks in 59 innings. In six starts, that ERA is 6.75, with 29 strikeouts and 10 walks in 29⅓ innings, compared to a 9.10 ERA in 29⅔ innings in relief.</p>
<p>Matt Vasgersian, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal will call the game for Fox, which has exclusive broadcast rights to Saturday's game.</p>
<h4>Sunday, 1:10 p.m. (SportsNet LA)</h4>
<p><span>Kenta Maeda</span> needs to record 10 outs on Sunday to reach 100 innings and earn a $250,000 bonus. He has allowed four runs in 11 innings to the Padres this season, with 10 strikeouts and one walk. Maeda is coming off what was tied for his shortest outing of the year at four innings, and he allowed four runs, a limit Maeda has reached six times in 17 starts but to date has yet to allow more than four runs in a start.</p>
<p><span>Christian Friedrich</span>, the second southpaw along with Pomeranz the Dodgers will face this series, has allowed 21 runs in 21 innings in his last four starts, with no fewer than four runs in any of those starts, and five home runs allowed during that span.</p>
