Rod Barajas launched a two-run homer and Matt Kemp set a career high with his 102nd RBI as the Los Angeles Dodgers completed a three-game sweep of the visiting San Diego Padres with a 4-2 triumph Wednesday afternoon.

James Loney also plated a run and Ted Lilly was effective into the sixth inning for Los Angeles, which wore 1940s-style powder blue Brooklyn Dodger uniforms while posting its eighth win in nine games.

Kemp gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead in the first inning with a run-scoring single, eclipsing his previous career high of 101 RBIs set in 2009. After San Diego tied it in the second, Barajas belted his 15th homer of the season in the bottom half off Wade LeBlanc (2-4), who surrendered four runs in six innings to fall to 1-5 lifetime against the Dodgers.

Lilly (9-13) allowed two runs and five hits over 5 2/3 innings in improving to 3-1 against the Padres this year. The veteran lefthander has yielded three runs or less in seven straight starts.

Javy Guerra worked the ninth for his 13th save in 14 chances.

Jesus Guzman collected three of his team's six hits and LeBlanc added an RBI single for San Diego, which has lost seven in a row.
