SAN DIEGO—Interim Los Angeles Dodgers manager Danny Lehmann improved to 1–0 in his career thanks to Chris Taylor and Dustin May.
Taylor hit a two-run homer and May kept San Diego in check for six innings as the NL West-leading Dodgers held off the Padres 2–1 on Saturday night for their seventh win in eight games.
Lehmann filled in for manager Dave Roberts, who attended the graduation of his son, Cole, from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.
