The San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers exited Petco Park in lockstep and bid the other farewell for the rest of the season.
Well, at least until October.
The heated National League West rivals staged six games the past two weekends and played each other to a virtual standstill, with the Dodgers staving off a sweep Aug. 24 to pull even with San Diego in the teams’ final regular season meeting.

Dodgers 74-57. Padres 74-57. And 31 games for either club to find separation.
HALL OF FAME: Trump demands Roger Clemens be in Cooperstown
After a Dodgers sweep in L.A., it was the Padres’ turn to make gains, as they took two of three at Petco to briefly pull ahead in the division – and rise up to No. 6 in USA TODAY Sports’ power rankings.
The Dodgers have the slightest edge, winning nine of 13 games this year to win the season series and thus a tiebreaker should the teams be deadlocked after 162 games. In a race where even the smallest edge might make the difference, the Padres have seven games remaining against the historically bad Colorado Rockies; the Dodgers have three.
