Last October, Nestor Cortes endured one of the toughest moments of his career, surrendering the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history to Freddie Freeman. On Saturday night at Petco Park, he got a shot at redemption \u2014 and this time, the script flipped in his favor.<\/p>\n

Cortes dazzled in his fourth start for the Padres, retiring the first 16 batters he faced and holding the Los Angeles Dodgers to just one hit over six shutout innings in San Diego\u2019s 5-1 victory. The win moved the Padres into sole possession of first place in the National League West with 32 games left in the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, there\u2019s a history,\u201d Cortes said of facing L.A. again. \u201cEverybody knows about it. It sucks as a player to go through those moments, but the good thing about baseball is that you always have another opportunity. Once the opportunity comes, you try and make the best out of it, and that\u2019s what I did today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just one night after Yu Darvish limited the Dodgers to a single hit across six innings, Cortes delivered an equally dominant outing. According to MLB, it\u2019s the first time since at least 1958 \u2014 when the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles \u2014 that opposing starters held them to one or fewer hits in six innings on consecutive nights.<\/p>\n

Padres manager Mike Shildt praised Cortes\u2019 poise and execution. \u201cThat was tremendous,\u201d Shildt said. \u201cOnce he gets in a rhythm, he\u2019s really good. And he got in a rhythm from the very first batter. It was a fantastic effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miguel Rojas broke up the bid for perfection with a sixth-inning single, but Cortes calmly retired Shohei Ohtani for the third time to finish his night. He walked none and struck out three on 77 pitches.<\/p>\n

The Padres\u2019 bats gave Cortes some cushion in the fourth inning, when Ryan O\u2019Hearn sparked a rally with a single off Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow. Ram\u00f3n Laureano followed with a two-run knock, and Jake Cronenworth added a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Hearn and Laureano were both part of San Diego\u2019s busy Trade Deadline haul, as general manager A.J. Preller acquired five players in one day to fortify a roster aiming for its first division title since 2006.<\/p>\n

\u201cTip of the hat to A.J. for acquiring them,\u201d Shildt said. \u201cTip of the hat to the clubhouse for acclimating them. Those guys came in and just absolutely embraced what we\u2019re about.\u201d<\/p>\n

A week ago, the Padres left Dodger Stadium having been swept, their NL West hopes in question. But after taking three of four from the Giants and now two straight against Los Angeles, they enter Sunday\u2019s finale with a chance to build a two-game cushion atop the division.<\/p>\n

Cortes, who joined San Diego from Milwaukee at the deadline, knows the challenge ahead. \u201cThese guys are resilient,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re not at the top of the standings for no reason. Now, being part of them, you can tell how together everybody is. It\u2019s a camaraderie, and everybody is just trying to win.\u201d With Petco Park rocking and October inching closer, the Padres are making their move.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
