Fernando Tatis Jr. hits 2 home runs off Clayton Kershaw in Padres' win
outpitched Kershaw , who was knocked out in the fifth inning in front of a loud, festive crowd on Cinco de Mayo. The division-leading Dodgers had their six-game winning streak snapped.
Tatis sent Padres fans into a frenzy when he homered to center leading off the third and again when he lined a two-run shot to left with no outs in the fifth for a 3-1 lead. He has four homers since returning April 20 from an 80-game PED suspension. "He's one of the best pitchers of all time," Tatis said. "You've got to bring your best when you're facing him. I put in a good approach against him, getting good pitches and putting the ball in play. ... They're one of the best teams out there. We were looking forward to facing them and we were ready."
The Padres have had piñata parties after wins ever since, and Tatis got his first whack Friday night.
