Dodgers starter Zack Greinke turned in one of his best performances with his new club as he struck out a season-high eight and earned the win Saturday night against the Padres.
Greinke (4-2) allowed a run-scoring single to Jesus Guzman in the eighth, allowing the one run on four hits and a walk in eight innings of a 6-1 win.
Greinke has allowed two runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. He is scheduled to make his next start Thursday at home against the Phillies. He is 3-0 with a 2.12 ERA in five starts at Dodger Stadium.
