SAN DIEGO -- Behind the stellar pitching of Zack Greinke, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 3-0 on Friday night.

Greinke (3-0) limited the Padres to four hits and three walks while striking out seven over seven innings in snapping the Dodgers' three-game losing streak.

Three Dodgers relievers pitched the final two innings, with Yimi Garcia earning his first major-league save in two chances this year.

Padres starter Andrew Cashner (1-3) worked seven innings and was charged with two runs on six hits. He struck out six but it wasn't enough for the Padres to avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season.

San Diego hasn't scored in 14 straight innings, although it had runners on the corners in the eighth. But first baseman Yonder Alonso grounded out to end the threat.

The Dodgers came into Friday game after being swept in a three-game series against San Francisco, falling in walk-off fashion in the final two contests.

They turned to Greinke to get right.

Greinke is unbeaten in his last 19 starts against NL West opponents, going 15-0 in that span. Since joining the Dodgers in 2013, Greinke is 21-1 with a 1.88 ERA in 31 divisional games.

He ran his mark to 5-0 against the Padres in nine starts, with a 1.58 ERA.

Left fielder Carl Crawford doubled the Dodgers' lead to 2-0 in the seventh inning. He drove an 83 mph changeup from Cashner well into the right-field seats.

The Padres had an opportunity in the seventh when shortstop Alexi Amarista walked with one out. Pinch-hitter Yangervis Solarte hit a high hopper to first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and he jumped to flag it down. His throw to shortstop Jimmy Rollins erased Amarista, and Rollins' throw to Greinke covering first ended the inning.

Cashner had to wiggle out of a sixth-inning jam when Gonzalez singled to center with one out, and second baseman Howie Kendrick added an infield single. Catcher Yasmani Grandal grounded to second baseman Cory Spangenberg and while his flip to Amarista was off-target, Amarista snagged the throw and completed the inning-ending double play.

The Padres had two aboard in the fourth after catcher Derek Norris singled and Amarista walked. But Grienke retired the side by getting Cashner to pop up.

Grandal was half way to the cycle when he added a one-out, fourth-inning single to his second-inning double. But Crawford struck out for the second straight time, and third baseman Juan Uribe grounded out.

The Padres loaded the bases with no outs in the second, following a walk to Alonso and consecutive singles by Norris and third baseman Will Middlebrooks. But Greinke fanned Amarista and Cashner.

Center fielder Wil Myers then hit a line drive up the middle, but it was snagged by second baseman Howie Kendrick to end the rally.

The Dodgers struck first in the second inning when Grandal smacked a one-out, opposite-field double. After Cashner struck out Crawford, Uribe brought in Grandal with a single to center for a 1-0 lead.
