The Dodgers sweep the Giants with an 8-2 win Wednesday afternoon. Vicente Padilla gave the Dodgers a strong start, as Los Angeles held San Francisco to two runs in each of the three games. The Dodgers are now 5-1 against their long-time rivals, outscoring them 30-22 in the six games. They’ve usually been close contests this year.

Matt Kemp went 3 for 4 with a home run, and is 5 for 8 since coming off his benching to replace Manny Ramirez Tuesday.
