ST. LOUIS (AP) _ Chase Utley, Logan Forsythe and Chris Taylor combined to reach
base 11 times and totaled six runs, helping the streaking Los Angeles Dodgers
rally past the St. Louis Cardinals 9-4 on Tuesday night.
Utley finished a homer shy of the cycle as the Dodgers won their season-high
sixth straight game. Forsythe reached five times, including three walks, and
Taylor reached three times.
Adrian Gonzalez’s sacrifice fly and Utley’s RBI double started the Dodgers
comeback in the third. Enrique Hernandez tied it at 3 with a single, and Paul
DeJong’s throwing error on the same play scored Utley to give the Dodgers a 4-3
lead.
Michael Wacha (2-3) needed 77 pitches to get through three innings, the
shortest outing for a Cardinals starter this season. Three of the four runs he
allowed were earned.
Brandon Morrow (1-0) led a parade of six Dodgers relievers.
Game three of the four-game series is Wednesday night at Busch Stadium. Carlos
Martinez (3-4) starts for the Cardinals while Hyun-jin Ryu (2-5) goes for the
Dodgers. Game time is 7:15 with the pre-game at 6:20 on KTLO-AM.
