Freddie Freeman was the standout star as homered, doubled and had 4 hits to help his team en route to a dominant victory – a perfect gift for his 34th birthday.
The LA slugger singled and scored in the first, hit a two-run homer in the third, singled and scored again in the fourth and got his franchise-record 55th double in the eighth, notching his sixth four-hit game of the season.
Fernando Tatis Jr. was the sole player to homer for the disappointing Padres, who have now lost 4 out of their last 6 games.
Michael Wacha succumbed to his second consecutive loss after going 6-0 in his previous eight starts for San Diego, yielding seven runs on seven hits and three walks while getting through just four innings.
