LOS ANGELES -- Luis Perdomo gave the San Diego Padres another reason to be excited about just how far hes come.The 23-year-old Rule 5 acquisition looked like a very different pitcher Saturday than the one who gave up six runs in an inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers in his major league debut.It was my debut. I was nervous, said Perdomo (3-4), who gave up two earned runs in six innings in the Padres 4-3 loss to the Dodgers on Saturday. Now, Im a lot more relaxed. I just went out there and pitched, played baseball, and my sinker got a lot of ground balls today.Even though the game got away from the Padres on a contested play in the fifth inning, Wil Myers could see the difference.Ever since hes become a starter, hes been great, said Myers. Even right before that, he looked good. Hes becoming more confident. He can pitch, and we know he can compete at this level.It was 3-all in the fifth when Corey Seager scored from second base on a throwing error by shortstop Alexei Ramirez as he tried to complete a double play.With runners at first and second, Adrian Gonzalez hit a high bouncer to second baseman Ryan Schmipf, who threw to Ramirez for a forceout.Turner slid toward the outfield side of second base -- which he grabbed as he went by -- and Ramirez made a wide throw that glanced off the glove of first baseman Wil Myers. The Padres challenged the call, but replay upheld the original call that Turners slide was legal.Youre running along the grass and then the next that you know, youre six feet outside of the grass, so you clearly at some point in time changed his path, said Padres Manager Andy Green.Was it not close enough to call? I guess thats what they decided.No matter how the umpires ruled, Myers knew Seager should never have scored on the play.I just missed the ball. It was my fault, said Myers. It wasnt a bad throw. I just missed the ball, got too concerned with the runner, and just missed it. It was on me.Brandon McCarthy won his second straight start for the Dodgers after a 14-month recovery from Tommy John surgery.McCarthy (2-0) gave up three runs in five innings, including a first-inning, two-run homer by Yangervis Solarte.The right-hander retired 10 of the next 12 hitters, holding the Padres to a pair of walks. McCarthys win came six days after he threw five scoreless innings in his return from major surgery.Dodgers reliever Adam Liberatore got two outs for his club-record 24th consecutive scoreless appearance. He broke the mark of 23 set by John Candelaria in 1991.Kenley Jansen pitched a scoreless ninth for his 26th save.Solarte homered over the fence in right-center field to give the Padres a 2-0 lead in the first. Over his last 19 games, Solarte is hitting .380 (27 for 71) with seven doubles, four homers and 16 RBI.POMERANZ TO PETCOPadres starter Drew Pomeranz (8-7, 2.47) was picked on Saturday to the National Leagues All-Star team for the first time in his career.Hes earned everything hes gotten this year, Padres manager Andy Green said. Hes definitely rewarded the front office for the faith it had trading for him, and understanding the type of pitcher he could be, and is.MOST IN MAJORSTravis Jankowski easily stole second on the first pitch to Solarte in the first inning, his ninth theft in 16 games since June 21, the most in the majors during that stretch.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: C Derek Norris was back in the starting lineup after leaving Friday nights game with a right quad contusion suffered in a first-inning collision with Dodgers 2B Chase Utley. He regenerates quickly, Green said. He took a shot. Its a testament to how tough he is. We waited to post the starting lineup to see if he was capable of going.Dodgers: RHP Julio Urias will head to the minors to learn to pitch in relief, manager Dave Roberts said before the game. The Dodgers want the 19-year-old to learn to pitch in a variety of situations before reaching a team-imposing innings cap. The Dodgers will make the move after the All-Star break, Roberts said. ... OF Andre Ethier (fractured tibia), out since spring training, is playing catch, taking swings in the batting cage. Hes more of a baseball player now, Roberts said. The Dodgers are hoping hell return in early August.NEXT UPPadres: LHP Christian Friedrich (4-4, 4.42) starts in Sundays finale before the All-Star Game.
