LOS ANGELES — – Dalton Rushing<\/a> tied career highs with four hits and four RBI as the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> rallied from an early six-run deficit for a 12-7 victory over the skidding San Diego Padres<\/a> on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Kyle Tucker<\/a> added four hits to equal a career best and reached base five times. Andy Pages<\/a> tied it with a two-run double in the fourth inning, and the Dodgers scored 12 straight runs to win for the eighth time in 10 games.<\/p>\n

Roki Sasaki<\/a> gave up six runs over three innings, including three homers, but the Los Angeles bullpen allowed just one run the rest of the way. Will Klein<\/a> (3-2) worked two scoreless innings to earn the win.<\/p>\n

It was the Dodgers’ biggest comeback victory since they trailed by six runs against the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a> in 2022.<\/p>\n

Manny Machado<\/a>, Jackson Merrill<\/a> and Jake Cronenworth<\/a> homered in the first two innings for the Padres, who matched a season high with their sixth consecutive loss. Three of those defeats have come against the Dodgers.<\/p>\n

San Diego starter Randy V\u00e1squez gave up four runs and seven hits in three innings before left-hander Wandy Peralta<\/a> (1-1) permitted four runs and six hits in the fourth.<\/p>\n

Down 6-0, the Dodgers began their comeback with a two-run homer from Rushing in the second. Max Muncy<\/a> and Tucker each knocked in a run in the third. Pages’ tying double in the fourth was followed by RBI hits from Mookie Betts<\/a> and Muncy for an 8-6 lead.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles made it 10-6 in the fifth when Tommy Edman<\/a> hit an RBI double before scoring on a wild pitch. Rushing had a sacrifice fly in the sixth and an RBI single in the eighth.<\/p>\n

Padres catcher Freddy Fermin<\/a> left in the fifth after he took a foul ball off his mask.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Padres right-hander Michael King<\/a> (5-7, 3.55 ERA) will face Dodgers right-hander Shohei Ohtani<\/a> (8-2, 1.58) in the second game of the series Friday.<\/p>\n
