LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Manny Machado slugged a grand slam after two consecutive errors by the Dodgers in the third inning, Garrett Richards won for the first time in two years, and the San Diego Padres defeated Los Angeles 6-2.

The Padres have taken the first two games of the four-game series after dropping two of three to the Dodgers last week in San Diego, and have won a season-best three in a row overall.

Machado's 10th career grand slam came off Ross Stripling.

The Padres added a solo shot by Jurickson Profar in the fifth.

Stripling lost for the first time in four starts for the Dodgers.
