Clayton Kershaw pitched outstanding against San Diego for the second time in a six-day span to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-1 victory over the visiting Padres on Thursday night.

Kershaw (4-2) gave up seven hits Thursday while striking out seven and walking two as the Dodgers moved into second place in the National League West, one game behind the Padres.

Jonathan Broxton worked the ninth for his eighth save.

The Dodgers broke open a tie game with a three-run sixth inning. Garret Anderson’s sacrifice fly made it 2-1 and Jamey Carroll had a run-scoring single.

Blake DeWitt scored the final run of the inning on Kevin Correia’s wild pitch.

Carroll had two RBIs, also driving in a run with a second-inning sacrifice fly. Will Venable had an RBI-single in the third inning for the Padres.

Correia (4-4) gave up four runs and seven hits over six innings for the Padres.
