Dodger bats come alive in 5-2 win over Phils

After dropping the first two games of a four-game set, the Dodgers came out swinging tonight in a 5-2 win over Philadelphia that saw Los Angeles pound out five doubles, a triple and a home run.

On the mound, Dodger starter Zack Greinke (4-0) out-dueled Philadelphia’s Cole Hamels for the win. Greinke went seven innings, gave up two runs on five hits and struck out 11.

Hamels went six innings and held the Dodgers to two runs on six hits.

It was when the game went to the bullpens that Los Angeles had the edge. Philadelphia relievers Jeff Manship, Mario Hollands and Shawn Camp got roughed up for three runs on six hits in the seventh and eighth innings.

While the Phillies pen was getting battered, L.A. relievers J.P. Howell and Kenley Jansen pitched two innings of no-hit ball to preserve the win for Greinke.

Hanley Ramirez had a double and homer; Matt Kemp had pair of doubles; Scott Van Slyke had a double; Yasiel Puig had a triple and Greinke helped his own cause with a double as the Dodgers racked up 12 hits.

Juan Uribe, Justin Turner, Puig and Ramirez had RBIs.
