Dodgers 5, Cubs 2
LOS ANGELES — Andre Ethier extended his hitting streak to 28 games with an infield single that capped a three-run fifth for the Dodgers. Clayton Kershaw pitched seven innings, giving up Alfonso Soriano's major league-leading 11th homer in the seventh. He did not walk a batter for the first time in seven starts this season. Vicente Padilla pitched a perfect eighth and Jonathan Broxton did likewise in the ninth for his sixth save.
