The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 12–7 on July 2 at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium in a game that exceeded the Vegas total of 8.5 runs. Los Angeles' offense dominated the matchup, recording 17 hits and 11 RBI while striking out just 4 times, posting a .794 OPS that reflected disciplined plate discipline with 6 walks. The Padres managed only 10 hits despite hitting 3 home runs, but their 9 strikeouts and .676 OPS illustrated offensive inefficiency; they allowed 17 hits and 12 earned runs, with a 4.26 ERA that proved costly over the contest. The Dodgers' pitching staff struck out 9 while limiting walks to 5, and the home team committed no defensive errors, controlling the game throughout. San Diego's power surge proved insufficient against Los Angeles' balanced attack and superior pitching execution. The Dodgers' run differential and offensive consistency suggest they remain well-positioned in the division race.
