LOS ANGELES -- Beyond infielders Wil Myers and Yangervis Solarte, theres not a lot of experience in San Diegos lineup. As a result, Solarte prefers to lead by example.He hit a tiebreaking home run leading off the eighth inning to help the last-place Padres defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 and snap a three-game skid on Friday night.Its something we talk about a lot, setting a good example so whoever comes up here for the first time, they see how we do things. What to do, what not to do, Solarte said. I was trying to get a hit to lead off the inning, first of all, but I was able to stay aggressive and make some good contact.The Dodgers lost for the third time in four games, but their lead in the NL West remained at two games over the San Francisco Giants, who lost to the Cubs.Brad Hand (4-3) got the victory, allowing one hit and striking out four in 1 2/3 innings of relief. Brandon Maurer pitched the ninth for his seventh save.They had opportunities but when Hand and (Ryan) Buchter were on the mound, I felt really good about that, Padres manager Andy Green said. Those are really good matchups for us all the way through.Solarte hit his career high-tying 14th homer on a 1-1 pitch from Adam Liberatore (2-2). Pinch-hitter Brett Wallace hit a bloop single over the third basemans head with two outs, scoring Alex Dickerson, who walked, for a 4-2 lead.Thats when a team takes life, when you finally take a lead and you give it right back, Green said. It was a good response by our guys.The Padres rallied twice, including in the sixth on Derek Norris two-run double that gave them a 2-1 lead. They were his first RBI since Aug. 2, a span of 15 games.Joc Pederson drove in both Dodgers runs. His RBI single gave them a 1-0 lead in the fourth and his 19th homer tied it 2-all in the sixth. Los Angeles had 13 hits and stranded 11 runners.Yasiel Puig rejoined the team after a monthlong demotion to the minors. He went 2 for 4, including a two-out single in the fifth.Puig grounded out with the bases loaded in the third. He singled and went to second on a throwing error in the seventh, but the Dodgers ended the inning with consecutive strikeouts.It was really good to see him back in the lineup, manager Dave Roberts said. His energy and focus was good. He ran hard.Padres starter Clayton Richard allowed one run and a season-high nine hits in five innings.Julio Urias made his 13th and possibly last start of the season for the Dodgers. The left-hander gave up three runs and two hits in 5 1/3 innings, struck out six and walked one. The club has instituted an innings restriction on the 20-year-old rookie.SLUMPING SEAGERDodgers SS Corey Seager was hitless in four at-bats, with a walk and a strikeout, extending his offensive slump to 0 for 19 -- his longest drought of the season.HELP ARRIVESThe Padres reinstated INF-OF Alexi Amarista from the 15-day DL and recalled RHP Leonel Campos from Triple-A El Paso.

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves, last in the majors with 65 homers, will finally have a right-handed power bat in the lineup when they open a three-game series Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Turner Field.Matt Kemp, acquired late Saturday, had 23 homers with San Diego and the Braves are counting on him to be a part of their reboot going into a new ballpark in 2017 and a return to contention by 2018.We look at this as probably the first piece of starting to look at what were going to do this winter, as far as adding other pieces into this mix, Braves president of baseball operations John Hart said.Meanwhile, the Pirates are still hoping to make it to the postseason for a fourth straight year despite trading closer Mark Melancon on Saturday and possessing a 52-51 record after being swept in a weekend series at Milwaukee.Were not giving up on anything, Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. Were not lowering the bar. Were not settling.Left-hander Tony Watson will take over as the closer and the Pirates were busy Monday ahead of the non-waiver trade deadline making other pitching changes.Right-handed starter Ivan Nova was acquired from the New York Yankees for two players to be named later and veteran left-hander Jon Niese was sent back to the New York Mets in exchange for former Pirates lefty Anthony Bastardo.Then right at the deadline, left-hander Francisco Liriano was sent to the Toronto Blue Jays along with two prospects for right-hander Drew Hutchinson, who has spent most of the season in Triple-A.Liriano is owed $13 million next season and had struggled mightily in 2016, going 6-11 with a 5.46 ERA.The Braves started their massive teardown and rebuild two years ago,, dealing away veteran players rather than acquiring them.dddddddddddd The 31-year-old Kemp, though, fills a need; the remaining three years on his contract are partially covered by the Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers, and the deal subtracted unwanted Hector Olivera.The Braves, quiet at the Monday afternoon deadline, held on to veteran reliever Jim Johnson, who saved four games while winning National League Player of the Week on Monday.Gerrit Cole, coming off a career first, will start the series opener for the Pirates against the Braves Mike Foltynewicz.Cole (6-6, 2.78 ERA) threw the first complete game of his career on Wednesday against Seattle and is 2-0 with a 1.71 ERA in three career games against the Braves.He allowed three hits and one run to the Mariners, striking out six without allowing a walk. Of his 94 pitches, 70 were strikes.The right-hander was on the disabled list for a month with a strained right triceps before returning to the Pirates rotation on July 17.Foltynewicz (4-4, 4.30 ERA) gave up five runs in three innings on May 19 in a loss at Pittsburgh, but has pitched much better at home than on the road this season. The right-hander has a 2.83 ERA in Atlanta compared to 5.40 on the road.The series is Pittsburghs last visit to Turner Field. They have good memories at the 20-year-old downtown ballpark that was once the main facility of the 1996 Olympics.The Pirates clinched a spot in the 2014 postseason at Turner Field and celebrated in the visitors clubhouse.Pittsburgh took three of four games against the Braves in Pittsburgh this year.
