09/01/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Howard and Brian Schneider each hit a three-run home run as the Philadelphia Phillies downed the Los Angeles Dodgers, 8-4, in the second of three games.
Carlos Ruiz added a two-run single for the Phillies, who have won four of their last five. Kyle Kendrick (9-7) got the win as he was charged with four runs on seven hits over five-plus innings of work.
Philadelphia remained three games behind Atlanta for first place in the NL East as the Braves defeated the Mets on Tuesday. The Phils did stay 1 1/2 games ahead of San Francisco for the NL Wild Card spot as the Giants defeated Colorado on Tuesday.
James Loney hit a two-run home run and finished the game with three RBI and Jamey Carroll drove in the other run for the Dodgers, who have dropped three of four. Carlos Monasterios (3-5) was tagged for five runs on five hits in just two-plus innings of work to take the loss.
"Monasterios is still learning," said Dodgers manager Joe Torre. "We crept back into it, but we just couldn't keep the pressure on them when they scored those last two runs."
The Dodgers struck in the first inning as a bases loaded walk by Loney forced home Scott Podsednik for a 1-0 lead.
It was short-lived, though, as Jayson Werth doubled to start the second, Shane Victorino later walked and Schneider crushed the first pitch he saw over the right field wall for a 3-1 lead.
The Phils added to their lead in the third. Placido Polanco started the frame with a single and Chase Utley followed with a single. That chased Monasterios from the mound, as Ramon Troncoso took over, and Howard greeted him with a shot over the center field wall for a 6-1 advantage.
"It felt good to make contact," Howard said. "It was a fastball, and I just reacted. It wasn't that I was happy I hit a home run -- I was happy to get a hit."
The Dodgers got one back in the fifth when Jamey Carroll's groundout scored Rod Barajas to make it a 6-2 game.
Los Angeles then cut its deficit in half in the sixth as Matt Kemp led off with a single and Loney followed with a shot over the right field wall to make it a 6-4 game.
Philadelphia, though, got the runs back in the seventh as Ruiz's pinch-hit, two-run single gave the team an 8-4 lead.
J.C. Romero set the Dodgers down in order in the seventh while Ryan Madson did the same in the eighth.
Brad Lidge then worked a 1-2-3 ninth to lock down the win.
