Kemp, Ramirez pace Dodger win over Giants

After getting pasted by San Francisco on Friday and Saturday, the Dodgers rebounded with a 6-2 win over the Giants tonight fueled by two-homer nights by Matt Kemp and Hanley Ramirez and a strong mound performance from Zack Greinke.

Greinke have up two solo dingers to the Giants but otherwise stymied San Francisco and prevented a three-game sweep.

Kemp looked fully recovered from shoulder and ankle surgeries in the off-season and if he returns to form the Dodgers offense could be deadly.

Ramirez, who is a free agent after this year, is swinging the bat with authority. Toss in Adrian Gonzalez, Andre Ethier, Yasiel Puig, Carl Crawford, Juan Uribe and the fleet-footed Dee Gordon and Los Angeles should be fun to watch.

After a day off tomorrow the Dodgers host the Detroit Tigers in an interleague set Tuesday and Wednesday. The Dodgers will see AL Cy Young winner Max Scherzer on Tuesday. Scherzer is a hard-throwing righty who could give LA fits.
