It's a shame the Dodgers and Padres won't end the regular season against one another because the NL West title could still be in play 31 games from now.

The Dodgers were held to one hit before the ninth inning, when Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman gave them one final gasp against All-Star closer Robert Suarez. The closer blew a 101.6 mph sinker past Hernández to close out a night in which they hardly ever threatened.

The Dodgers and Padres are tied atop the National League West with 33 games remaining on the regular season schedule. San Diego pulled even with a 2-1 win on Friday night at Petco Park. Blake Snell took the tough-luck loss despite allowing only two runs and pitching into the seventh inning for the first time

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced two big pitching roster moves ahead of Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies.
