Kenta Maeda exited with his team trailing on Sunday but avoided taking a loss despite the Los Angeles Dodgers suffering an 8-5 walk-off defeat against the San Diego Padres.
Maeda yielded four runs on three walks and three hits, including an early home run to Franmil Reyes. The Japanese starter left the mound after six innings with the Dodgers down 4-3 at Petco Park.
The visitors went ahead on Chris Taylor's two-run homer in the eighth inning, but Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen (2-1) got into a bases-loaded jam in the ninth and gave up a pinch-hit walk-off grand slam to Hunter Renfroe.
