Harang, Dodgers Beat Padres 8-1

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Aaron Harang held his former team to four hits in seven shutout innings and had one of Los Angeles' 12 hits as the Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 8-1 Thursday night to split a two-game series.

The Dodgers (25-13), who have the best record in the majors, are 1-2 since Matt Kemp went on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring.

The Padres (14-25), who have the worst record in the NL, still haven't won three straight games this season. They came in having won at Washington on Tuesday and against the Dodgers on Wednesday.  San Diego committed two more errors and has 39, second-most in the majors.

Harang (3-2) struck out six and walked none to beat the Padres for the first time in three starts against them this year.
