Juan Uribe hit a game-ending two-run homer with one out in the 10th inning and the San Francisco Giants avoided a three-game sweep by the archrival Los Angeles Dodgers with a 4-2 victory Wednesday. Brian Wilson (4-5) pitched 1 1-3 innings with four strikeouts for the win on a wild day in which the benches cleared and both Giants manager Bruce Bochy and later bench coach — and acting manager –…
Manny Ramirez is not one to get overly excited about a potential sweep in August, or even a hitting funk here or there. Ramirez hit a towering two-run homer and also doubled in a run after two earlier intentional walks and the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the rival San Francisco Giants 9-1 on Tuesday night.
Matt Kemp hit a three-run double to back a strong effort from Hiroki Kuroda and help the slumping Los Angeles Dodgers win the opener of their key three-game series against the San Francisco Giants, 4-2 Monday night. The first meeting in three months between the longtime foes was a highly anticipated matchup as the Giants had closed within 5 1/2 games of the first-place Dodgers in the NL West.
Javier Vazquez won his fifth straight decision with eight solid innings and the Atlanta Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-2 on Sunday to take three of the four games in their weekend series.

Kelly Johnson hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning against Guillermo Mota and the Atlanta Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 on Saturday night for their second straight extra-inning victory over the NL West leaders.

Garret Anderson drove in the tying run with a ninth-inning single against All-Star closer Jonathan Broxton and scored the go-ahead run on a single by Yunel Escobar during a four-run 12th, which Ryan Church capped with a three-run homer to give the Atlanta Braves a 9-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.
Andre Ethier hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth off Atlanta closer Rafael Soriano — his major league-leading fifth walkoff hit of the season — to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 5-4 victory over the Braves on Thursday night. Juan Pierre led off the ninth with an infield hit. Rafael Furcal's hit-and-run single sent Pierre to third, and Ethier drove a 2-0 pitch to right field for…
Milwaukee Brewers star Prince Fielder and Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Guillermo Mota have been fined for their run-in this week. Major League Baseball will not suspend them. The amounts of the fines were not disclosed Thursday. Mota hit Fielder in the ninth inning of a 17-4 win Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, presumably as payback for Milwaukee's Chris Smith grazing Manny Ramirez with a pitch…
Manny Ramirez ended his 10-game RBI drought with a homer and a two-run double, and Matt Kemp had a homer among his four hits while driving in five runs in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 17-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.

Ryan Braun had a three-run homer among his four hits, and Milwaukee closer Trevor Hoffman got Manny Ramirez on a bases-loaded fly to right to finish the Brewers' 6-5 victory over the road-weary Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night.
