A.J. Pollock started things for the Dodgers in the first with a solo homer off the center field wall to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead after one.
Justin Turner added more in the third with a two-RBI single up the middle to put the Dodgers up 3-0.
With the bases loaded in the home half of the third, May walked Jurickson Profar and brought home a run, but that was all the Padres would get. The Dodgers led 3-1 after three.
Chris Taylor added one more in the fifth with a solo homer to left center to give the Dodgers a 4-1 lead after five.
