Ryu entered the game on a 15-inning scoreless streak. He kept the Padres off the board for the first 2 2/3 innings, before allowing back-to-back doubles to Jose Pirela and Hunter Renfroe with two outs in the third.

Renfroe's hit tied the score at 1-1, after the Dodgers scored first with Justin Turner's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the first.

The Padres went up 2-1 in the fourth, when their starter Jhoulys Chacin helped his own cause by dumping a single to right field.

With two outs in the fifth, Wil Myers launched a solo shot to right center to give the Padres a 3-1 lead. It was the first home run given up by Ryu since June 28 against the Los Angeles Angels.

It was also the 16th home run allowed by Ryu in 2017, his single season career high.

Ryu tossed a season-high 108 pitches, only 68 of them for strikes. He was lifted for pinch hitter Kyle Farmer in the bottom fifth, and left-hander Tony Watson took the mound to start the top sixth.

Ryu had been 4-1 with a 2.19 ERA in his six previous starts against the Padres, with 36 strikeouts in 37 innings.

The Dodgers erased the deficit in the bottom sixth as Corey Seager plated three runs with a bases-loaded single. Cody Bellinger extended the lead to 5-3 with a solo home run in the bottom seventh. Chris Taylor gave the Dodgers another insurance run with a solo blast of his own in the eighth.

Closer Kenley Jansen threw a scoreless ninth to preserve the 6-3 win. (Yonhap)
