ST. LOUIS (AP) _ Chase Utley, Cody Bellinger and Logan Forsythe hit solo home
runs, leading Rich Hill and the Los Angeles Dodgers over the St. Louis Cardinals
5-1 Monday for their fifth straight victory.
Hill (2-2) recovered from a bout of wildness in his last start to pitch five
innings, giving up one run and two hits. In his previous outing, also against
the Cardinals, he permitted five runs on four hits and seven walks in four
innings.
Mike Leake (5-3) entered the game leading the majors with a 1.91 ERA, but
allowed a season-high four runs in 6 2/3 innings.
Game two of the four-game series is Tuesday night at Busch Stadium. Michael
Wacha (2-2) starts for the Cardinals while Kenta Maeda (4-2) goes for the
Dodgers. Game time is 6:05 with the pre-game at 5:10 on KTLO-AM.
