Dodgers down Marlins at Chavez Ravine

Baseball Betting Lines

07/07/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier and Casey Blake homered to back the solid pitching of Vicente Padilla as the Los Angeles Dodgers took down the Florida Marlins, 7-3, in the middle portion of a three- game series.

Rafael Furcal ran his hit streak to 10 games and drove in three runs as the Dodgers won for the sixth time in eight contests. He has scored a run in 12 straight games, an LA Dodgers record. Furcal tied Gil Hodges 12-game streak from June 2-14, 1953, when the franchise was in Brooklyn.

Padilla (3-2) had a season-high nine strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings to win his second straight start. The right-hander was charged with six hits and two runs.

"Vicente was great, he kept throwing strikes," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. "Everybody was making a contribution. We're playing with a lot of confidence right now."

Chris Volstad (4-8) permitted five hits and five runs over three-plus innings and has just one victory in his last 11 starts. He was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans following the game.

"I fell behind hitter and only half of my pitches were for strikes," Volstad said. "It's tough to be sent down, but there's stuff I need to do better."

Mike Stanton clubbed a two-run homer in the seventh inning and knocked in all three runs for Florida, which had won its previous two games.

Furcal singled in Russell Martin and Blake DeWitt in the second inning. Furcal then stole second before Kemp homered to left field for a 4-0 lead.

Blake homered with one out the following inning and it became 6-0 on Ethier's lead-off blast to right in the fifth.

Stanton went deep with Cody Ross on base in the seventh, but Furcal knocked in DeWitt with a base hit in the eighth for a 7-2 difference.

Stanton singled in Dan Uggla in the ninth. With runners on first and second and one out, Jonathan Broxton entered from the bullpen and retired pinch- hitter Wes Helms on a fly ball to center field. Chris Coghlan then grounded out to end the game, giving Broxton his 18th save.
