Aaron Harang sets a Dodgers record with 9 consecutive strikeouts after giving up a lead-off single to San Diego’s Cameron Maybin; Will Venable then homers to lead off the 4th. Johnny Podres had struck out 8 consecutive batters on July 2, 1962 for the franchise record and Harang falls one short of Tom Seaver’s all-time record. He finishes with 13 Ks in 6 1/3 innings and leaves with an 8 – 3 lead, but the bullpen then gets to work to sabotage that lead, with the Padres tying the score with 2 runs in the top of the 9th. Andrew Cashner retires the first two Los Angeles batters in the bottom of the 9th, before he walks the bases loaded; Joe Thatcher replaces him and walks Andre Ethier, forcing in the winning run and providing an anticlimactic ending to the game, with the final score 9 – 8.
