LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani singled in the go-ahead run before stealing his 56th base of the season in the sixth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers edged the second-place San Diego Padres 4-3 to move within a victory of clinching the NL West. The Dodgers increased their lead over the Padres to three games with four to play. They need a win in Thursday's series finale to earn their 11th division title in 12 years. Both teams have already clinched postseason berths. The Padres remain 3 1/2 games ahead of Arizona and the New York Mets for the NL's top wild-card spot.
