One swing decided a pitcher's duel. Miguel Andujar's first-inning home run stood as the only run in San Diego's 1-0 victory over Los Angeles at Petco Park, snapping the Dodgers' five-game winning streak.
Michael King dominated through seven innings, allowing four hits while striking out nine and walking two. The right-hander carried a 2.31 ERA into his fourth win of the season, holding the Dodgers scoreless on 100 pitches before turning the game over to the bullpen.
Andujar homered to left center in the first inning, a 376-foot shot that provided the game's only offense. The designated hitter finished 2-for-4, raising his season average to .298 with four home runs and 15 RBIs.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto matched King's effort but absorbed the loss despite allowing just one run on three hits over seven innings. The Dodgers starter struck out eight and walked two on 107 pitches, falling to 3-4 with a 3.32 ERA. Mason Miller closed out the ninth for his 15th save, walking two but escaping without damage.
San Diego extended its winning streak to three games and improved to 28-18, remaining one game behind first-place Los Angeles in the division. The Dodgers fell to 29-18 after their streak ended.
