Ninth Inning Rally Spells Victory for Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3, their third win in four games. The Dodgers won in the bottom of the ninth after Brad Lidge got two outs with the Phillies up by one, leaving the Dodgers with their final out. Casey Blake subsequently singled, James Loney walked, and Russell Martin reached first on a fielding error by Pedro Feliz. Andre Ethier immediately doubled on the first pitch, sending Blake and Loney home to win the game. Juan Pierre and Rafael Furcal both scored, and Loney had an RBI. Jonathan Broxton struck out the side in the ninth to get his sixth win of the season. Chase Utley had a two-run double for the Phils, and Jayson Werth reached base four times and scored a run.
