SAN DIEGO -- Hyun-Jin Ryus stint on the disabled list was nothing more than a speed bump. Kevin Trapp Germany Jersey . Ryu came off the DL to pitch four-hit ball over seven innings, and Matt Kemp singled in the go-ahead run to help the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 7-1 Sunday and avoid a three-game sweep. Ryu (14-6) struck out seven and walked none while allowing one run in his first start since a loss at Atlanta on Aug. 13, when he hurt his right hip. Ryu improved to 4-0 lifetime against the Padres. "It didnt take long for me to find the rhythm," Ryu said through a translator. "I knew it was two weeks, but it felt like I was just there a few days ago. Overall I just felt comfortable, and thats why I was able to pitch comfortable." Ryu allowed a double to Yangervis Solarte leading off the first and then Yasmani Grandals two-out RBI double to tie the game. But then the left-hander settled down and retired his next 14 batters. The Padres got only two more baserunners against Ryu, both on singles, and one was erased during a double play. "I thought he was good," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "First guy gets on, then it seems like he got a quick gear. By the sixth he looked a little bit tired, and in the seventh we let him know that was pretty much it. He seemed to know it." Padres manager Bud Black said Ryus four-pitch mix was impressive. "This guy is a good pitcher. The Dodgers just didnt go get him from Korea for nothing and give him a lot of money. He is talented," Black said. "Its a fastball that has velocity and darting action. He has a hard slider in the high 80s (mph) that he commands and he has a good hook, a 12-to-6 hook that he can land for a strike, and a good change. "He is truly a complete pitcher." The seven runs were one more than the Dodgers scored in their previous three games combined. They lost by one run in extra innings in the first two games of the series. The Dodgers kept their 2 1/2-game lead over the San Francisco Giants, who beat Milwaukee 15-5 for their sixth straight win. "Its always good for us," Mattingly said. "Were in position to control our own destiny." Adrian Gonzalez had four hits. He also scored the first of the Dodgers four runs in the eighth against three relievers. The Padres four-game winning streak was snapped. They had beaten the NL West leaders in extra innings the first two games of the series. Kemp broke a 1-all tie when his single to centre with one out in the fifth brought in Hanley Ramirez. Ramirez walked against lefty Eric Stults (6-15) and advanced on Gonzalezs single to left. The Dodgers piled it on in the eighth, when they had five hits and two walks. Juan Uribe, who also came off the DL, hit an RBI single and Darwin Barney had a two-run single. Uribe added an RBI double in the ninth. Stults tied for the major league lead with his career-high 15th loss, which gives him 28 losses in two seasons. The Dodgers had been 1 for 15 with runners in scoring position in the series before Scott Van Slyke hit a broken-bat single with two outs in the first to bring in Yasiel Puig. Puig reached on a hustle double opening the game when his fly ball -- made more challenging by the sun -- fell between right fielder Rymer Liriano and second baseman Jedd Gyorko. Puig advanced on a passed ball and scored on Van Slykes single to right. Liriano threw to third to get Kemp to end the inning. PREGAME PUIG The Dodgers star outfielder played catch pregame with two kids. He was instructing one of them on how to hit the cutoff man, something hes better at showing than actually doing. Puig then went over to the stands, signed autographs and posed for photos with fans for several minutes. ADRIAN GONZALEZ It was Gonzalezs sixth career four-hit game at Petco Park, the most by any player in the stadiums 11 seasons. Gonzalez was with the Padres from 2006-10. TRAINERS ROOM Dodgers: To make room for Ryu and Uribe, reliever Carlos Frias and infielder Miguel Rojas were optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque. Padres: Black said closer Joaquin Benoit has inflammation in his pitching shoulder that needs to settle down for seven to 10 days. Kevin Quackenbush will serve as the closer. UP NEXT Dodgers: Roberto Hernandez (2-1, 3.52 ERA) is scheduled to start the opener of a three-game home series against Washington. He is 3-1 with a 1.19 ERA in four career starts vs. the Nationals. Padres: Tyson Ross (12-12, 2.64) pitches the opener of a four-game home series against Arizona. San Diego has won six of his last eight starts. Antonio Rudiger Jersey . The Oilers will try to get back in the win column on Monday when they continue a four-game road trip with a battle against the Buffalo Sabres. Edmonton won its third straight game last Wednesday against visiting San Jose, beating the Sharks 3-0 as Scrivens stopped 59 shots to set an NHL record for saves in a regular-season shutout. Mesut Ozil Jersey . As if he had been rehearsing it, Vasquez looked around with a grimacing stare as he clinched two fists and flexed his muscles. What do you think of DeMar DeRozans face after he hits a big shot, he was asked moments earlier. http://www.germanysoccerporshop.com/Customized/ .C. -- The RBC Cups semifinal participants were decided by a pair of overtime games.AVONDALE, Ariz. - Kevin Harvick doesnt regret shoving Brad Keselowski from behind — a move that escalated a pit road brawl between Keselowski, Jeff Gordon and their teams — but acknowledged Friday that he could have behaved differently.I never look back on something as a regret, Harvick said Friday at Phoenix International Raceway. I think you look back on them as lessons.Still, Harvick readily admitted he loves the drama that the fight created — he just doesnt love having to one day explain his behaviour to toddler son Keelan.You guys know, I love the controversy, he said. In the end, the difficult part for me is to go home and realize one day youre going to have to answer those questions to your son.Keselowski said little about last week, and said he hasnt paid attention to the rhetoric in the days that followed the fight.I cant spend all my time worrying about the other people, he said. I have to worry about winning this weekend, this race, and this championship. Thats where my focus is and will continue to be.A lot of these conversations and a lot of these talking points are meant to serve as a distraction, so to sit here and really comment on a lot of them would really be to justify them. I know the things that Im doing are the right things.Harvick was most certainly trying to create a distraction — he and Keselowski are at the back of the eight-driver Chase field and both trying to claw their way into the finale. Harvick has always played the Machiavellian role in the NASCAR garage, and did again following last Sundays race at Texas Motor Speedway.Gordon was attempting to confront Keselowski on pit road when Harvick rushed in from behind and shoved Keselowski into the scrum. It ignited a brawl that left both Keselowski and Gordon bloodied, and four Hendrick Motorsports crewmen were suspended by NASCAR. In all, six Hendrick crew members were fined a total of $185,000 — a penalty Hendrick Motorsports will pay on their behalf.Harvick said he pushed Keselowski because he believed the driver should not ignore Gordon after an aggressive on-track move ruined Gordons race.Gordon also felt that Keselowski should have owned his aggressive driving during the confrontationIt escalated because Brad didnt want to face the situation, Gordon said Friday. His crew guys were in the middle of that. The thing I feel terrible about is getting my guys involved. In a face-to-face (between me and Brad) there would have been no incident. Kevin played a role, no doubt.I got wrecked a couple times by Dale Earnhardt. The first thing he did was try to put his arm around you and say, I didnt mean to do that. You didnt necessarily believe him, but it had an effect. Some guys you can race like that, and some you cant. Youre not out there to make friends, but youre definitely not oout there to make enemies. Marc-Andre ter Stegen Germany Jersey. Gordon had been racing for the win until a late caution sent the race into overtime. He was the leader on a restart but Keselowski tried to wedge his car into a gap between Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. It caused Keselowski to make contact with Gordon, who then got a flat tire and spun.The result was a 29th-place finish for Gordon, who dropped from first to fourth in the standings as NASCAR prepares for Sundays final race of the third round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Four drivers will qualify Sunday to race for the championship in next weeks season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.Harvick, Gordon and Keselowski are among the eight drivers vying Sunday for the four spots in the finale.With so much on the line, Harvick understood the move Keselowski made on the track. But he said he was bothered by Keselowskis refusal to have any sort of meaningful discussion after — an act he claims Keselowski has done throughout his career.I think he races hard and thats what were all supposed to do and in those positions youd probably do the same thing yourself, he said. The problem with it I have is Ive been in that situation with him before and had him turn his back on me and just walk off. ... He just kind of rubs me the wrong way when you turn your back on situations and walk off and mumble your way off into no mans land and not just handle the situation.I think in those situations, even if youre going to get yelled at, you need to handle it like it needs to be handled.Gordon, with several days to revisit the incident, also doesnt blame Keselowski for racing so hard with so much on the line. He also wondered if the flared side skirt on Keselowskis car — teams are pulling on the sheet metal during pit stops in an action NASCAR has so far said is not illegal — hit his tire and caused the flat.I have no issue with a guy being aggressive and making a bold move, said Gordon, who didnt think hed have tried to shoot the gap the way Keselowski did. Was there a big enough gap? Yeah, for a split second. I never realistically thought someone would take that as a realistic gap. I wouldnt have done it. I would have known what the results would be, which is what they were.Keselowski, as he always does, said he wont change to serve other drivers in the garage.I think the more I dig into becoming what someone else wants me to be, the less I stay who I am, Keselowski said. Who I am is someone who can win races and be a championship threat year over year with a great team that supports me. Im not looking to become what everyone else wants me to become.I feel pretty good about the actions Ive taken. Certainly Im not perfect. Ive made some bad ones, but I didnt make any bad ones last week and I still feel that way.
