Matt Kemp went 4-for-5, including a two-run homer to right
field, and knocked in four runs and the Dodgers’ bullpen pitched by committee
in Chicago today as Los Angeles posted an 8-5 win over the Cubs to move 4.5
games ahead of San Francisco with six games to play.
The Giants dropped an 8-2 decision to San Diego, which swept
the Giants in a critical three-game set.
Jamey Wright, Carlos Frias, Chris Perez, Paco Rodriguez,
Pedro Baez and Kenley Jansen made mound appearances in the win as Dodger
manager Don Mattingly set up his rotation to pitch Dan Haren, Zack Greinke and
Clayton Kershaw against the Giants Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Wright pitched two innings and gave up one run, Frias went
three innings and gave up three runs and Baez gave up one run in his inning on
the mound. Perez, Rodriguez and Jansen pitched scoreless ball.
Yasiel Puig, Adrian Gonzalez, Hanley Ramirez, Carl Crawford
and Juan Uribe each had a pair of hits in the Dodgers’ 16-hit attack against
Chicago’s Jacob Turner and four relief pitchers.
After falling behind 5-2 the Cubs closed the gap to 5-4
before the Dodgers scored single runs in the sixth, seventh and ninth innings.
The Dodgers open a three-game series against the Giants tomorrow night in Chavez Ravine.
