Ethier Repeats in Dodgers' Victory

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 in 12 innings, their fourth win in five games. The Dodgers won in the bottom of the twelfth after Andre Ethier hit a solo-homer with two outs, his second walk-off hit in as many games. It was also Ethier's second home run of the day. Hiroki Kuroda had six shutout innings, but Ronald Belisario could not preserve the lead, giving up two runs in the seventh that led the Phillies take the lead. However, in the bottom of the ninth Rafael Furcal hit a pinch-hit homer to tie the game and send it into extra-innings. James Loney had three hits, and Juan Castro had two. Matt Stairs hit a two-run single that gave the Phils their short lead, and Pedro Feliz had two hits and scored a run.
