Chris Taylor drove in a run as the Dodgers won their fourth consecutive game against the Padres to even the season series 7-7.

The Dodgers opened a six-game homestand Friday after going 3-4 on a road trip to San Francisco and St. Louis.

Fernando Tatis Jr. had two hits for the Padres, who began a stretch in which they will end the regular season with 22 consecutive games against teams with winning records.

Padres starter Joe Musgrove (10-9) gave up three runs on four hits over six innings with five walks and seven strikeouts.
