Fireworks elude Dodgers; lead shrinks to 1 1/2

The Dodgers fell into another momentum-stopping trap on Friday night, following up this week’s series sweep of Colorado with a 5-3 loss to the last-place Padres at Dodger Stadium. With Colorado winning, the Dodgers’ lead over the Rockies is 1 1/2 games and their magic number to clinch the National League West remained at eight.
