TORONTO -- Watching his Los Angeles Dodgers waste opportunity after opportunity,
manager Don Mattingly was feeling nervous.
Spud Webb Hawks Jersey . He neednt have
worried. These days, the Dodgers can do no wrong, even if its late. Mark Ellis
hit a two-run homer to highlight a five-run 10th inning as the Dodgers beat the
Toronto Blue Jays 8-3 on Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep. "Were
rolling right now. Were going to see how long this roll lasts," said Los Angeles
reliever Brandon League, who beat his former team for the second straight game.
Yasiel Puig also went deep in the 10th for the Dodgers, who have won six
straight and 23 of 28 to go from last in the NL West on June 21 to first place.
Los Angeles won its 10th straight road game, the franchises longest streak since
the Brooklyn Dodgers won their first 11 away from home in 1955. League (5-3)
pitched two innings and Kenley Jansen finished for the Dodgers, who left 13
runners on base and went 2 for 17 with runners in scoring position. "It was one
of those games where youre going Man, were letting too many opportunities get
away from us," Mattingly said. "That game scared me from the second on, just the
way it went. Its nice to come back and get that." The Dodgers loaded the bases
in the second but scored just one. They stranded runners at first and second in
the fourth and left the bases loaded in the fifth, coming up empty both times.
"Early in the year we didnt come back in any games, I dont think," Mark Ellis
said. "Lately weve been able to do that. Thats the sign of a good team."
Juan Perez (1-2) gave up all five runs and four hits in the 10th inning for
Toronto, snapping his streak of 22 innings without an earned run since being
called up from Triple-A Buffalo in late May. The Blue Jays were swept for the
second straight series, and have lost a season-high seven consecutive games and
14 of 18. Toronto led 8-3 after six innings Tuesday before the Dodgers rallied
to win 10-9, but manager John Gibbons said this one was even more cruel. "I
thought we were rock bottom last night," Gibbons said. "I guess not." This time,
the Blue Jays were up 3-2 heading into the ninth before the Dodgers rallied
against closer Casey Janssen. Puig drew a leadoff walk before Janssen struck out
Adrian Gonzalez and Hanley Ramirez, then got two strikes on Andre Ethier. When
Ethier hit a sinking liner to centre, Colby Rasmus charged the ball but couldnt
catch it, then had it bounce off his glove, allowing Puig to score. "I saw with
Hanley and Gonzo that (Janssen) kind of forced them to chase some bad pitches
out of the zone," Ethier said. "I was just trying to get something over the
plate to drive." The blown save was Janssens second in 20 opportunities. "I
shouldnt have walked Puig in the first place," Janssen said. "Leadoff walks
always hurt and tonight it got me." In the 10th, Juan Uribe drew a one-out walk
and Ellis homered into the second deck in left, his fifth. One out later, Puig
hit his ninth homer and first since July 2. Gonzalez walked, Ramirez doubled and
Ethier followed with a two-run double. "It felt good to win this game after
having so many opportunities early," Ellis said. Torontos bullpen allowed two
home runs for the second straight game. Toronto relievers allowed 18 earned runs
in the three games against Los Angeles. "Its frustrating, its demoralizing but
weve got to come back tomorrow," Gibbons said. Ethier went 4 for 5 with two RBIs
and Puig was 3 for 5 with a walk and two RBIs. "He looked more like himself
tonight," Mattingly said of Puig. The Blue Jays broke a 2-2 tie in the eighth
against Ronald Belisario when pinch runner Rajai Davis scored from second on a
throwing error by Gonzalez. Los Angeles opened the scoring on Uribes
bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the second, and Puig made it 2-0 with an RBI
double in the third. Dodgers starter Ricky Nolasco held the Blue Jays without a
hit until the bottom of the fifth, when Rasmus and Maicer Izturis drew
consecutive walks and Brett Lawrie drove them in with a two-out double off the
wall. Making his fourth start since being acquired from Miami on July 7, Nolasco
allowed two runs and two hits in 5 2-3 innings. He matched a season-high with
four walks and struck out five. Toronto starter Esmil Rogers allowed two runs
and 10 hits in seven innings, matching his longest outing of the season. The
right-hander, who walked one and struck out four, has not won since June 18
against Colorado, a span of six starts. "His back against the wall all night
long," Gibbons said. Before the game, the Dodgers placed outfielder Matt Kemp on
the 15-day disabled list and activated left-hander Ted Lilly. Kemps move is
backdated to July 22, meaning hes eligible to return Aug. 6, but manager Don
Mattingly said Kemp might need more time. NOTES: The game was briefly halted in
the fourth after home plate umpire Will Little was hit on the left arm by a
pitch from Nolasco. Little remained in the game, but left the field for
treatment between the top and bottom of the sixth. ... Blue Jays RHP
Brandon Morrow will have more tests on his sore right forearm. Toronto GM Alex
Anthopoulos said its hard to be optimistic that Morrow will be able to return
this season.
