Hyun-Jin Ryu (11-5) held Pittsburgh to two runs on five hits
through seven innings tonight as the Dodgers rolled to a 5-2 win to keep pace
with San Francisco atop the National League West.
Los Angeles pounded out 12 hits with Adrian Gonzalez going
three-for-three and knocking in a run.
Justin Turner, playing short for the injured Hanley Ramirez,
contributed with a two-run double and Matt Kemp added a run scoring double for
the Dodgers.
Gonzalez had a RBI single and Andre Ethier drove in a run
with a ground out for Los Angeles.
The Dodgers roughed up Edinson Volquez for 10 hits over 5.2
innings and flashed some offense on a night Yasiel Puig and Ramirez sat with
hand injuries after being hit by pitches in the St. Louis series.
Carl Crawford got the start in left, Ethier remained in
center and Kemp moved to right field with Puig out of the lineup.
Turner, Dee Gordon and Juan Uribe had two hits apiece as the
Dodgers’ infield produced 10 of the 12 hits.
Brian Wilson, J.P. Howell and Kenley Jansen worked two
scoreless innings out of the pen as the Dodger relievers continued to show
improvement.
Josh Beckett is expected to come off the DL tomorrow to start the
second game of a three-game set against the Pirates.
