Dodgers 2, Cardinals 1
LOS ANGELES — Matt Kemp hit a two-run walkoff homer in the ninth inning, and the Dodgers ended a five-game skid and avoided a four-game sweep. Kemp homered to centerfield on the first pitch he saw from Ryan Franklin. Andre Ethier led off with a double off former Ray Trever Miller, extending his major league-leading hitting streak to 14 games. Jonathan Broxton got the win despite giving up a two-out RBI single in the top half to David Freese.
