LOS ANGELES, June 1 (UPI) — Matt Kemp hit a two-run home run and drove in four runs Tuesday to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers past Colorado 8-2.

Kemp went 2-for-4 for the Dodgers, who extended their winning streak to three games. Casey Blake added a three-run homer for the Dodgers, who scored three runs in the seventh inning.

Ted Lilly (4-4) struck out a season-high eight batters and was credited with the victory. Lilly allowed two runs on four hits over seven innings and turned the game over to Rubby De La Rosa, who pitched the final two innings in a non-save situation.

Clay Mortensen (1-3) took the loss, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks in four innings.

Ty Wigginton had a solo home run for Colorado. The Rockies had just five hits in the game and struck out 10 times in their third straight loss.

LOS ANGELES, May 29 (UPI) — Clayton Kershaw tossed a two-hit, complete-game shutout Sunday and the Los Angeles Dodgers pounded out 17 hits in their 8-0 win over Florida.

Kershaw (6-3) allowed only a third-inning single to Omar Infante and a seventh-inning double to Logan Morrison in taming the Marlins, issuing only one walk while striking out 10.

The 116-pitch gem was the left-hander’s second career shutout as well as his sixth start without a loss for the Dodgers, who took the rubber match of a three-game set with Florida.

Rafael Furcal went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and three RBI while Casey Blake added two hits and a pair of RBI in the Dodgers’ win.

Ricky Nolasco (4-1) absorbed his first loss in 11 starts for Florida, surrendering eight runs on 15 hits in a five-inning effort.

LOS ANGELES, April 19 (UPI) — Ted Lilly hurled seven shutout innings Monday and the Los Angeles Dodgers went on to register a 4-2 victory over Atlanta.

Lilly (1-2) didn’t allow a runner to reach third base, scattering four hits while yielding two walks and fanning six for the Dodgers, who notched their second straight victory after snapping a five-game losing streak.

James Loney highlighted a three-run first inning, driving in Casey Blake and Matt Kemp with a single, and Kemp also had an RBI in the frame.

Juan Uribe added two hits and a run scored for the Dodgers.

Tim Hudson (2-2) yielded four runs on six hits over six innings for the Braves, who dropped the first of a four-game series against Los Angeles.

Freddie Freeman and Nate McLouth each drove in a run for Atlanta.

SAN FRANCISCO — Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Rafael Furcal has been placed on the 15-day disabled list after he broke his left thumb while sliding into third base on a steal during a 6-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.

The Dodgers made the move Tuesday, when Furcal headed back to Los Angeles to be examined by a hand specialist. Los Angeles recalled rookie infielder Ivan De Jesus from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill Furcal’s roster spot. De Jesus went 0 for 7 with five strikeouts while starting the year with the Dodgers, then was optioned to the minors April 5 when third baseman Casey Blake came off the disabled list.

Furcal’s injury — on his non-throwing hand — wasn’t immediately known because he stayed in the game for two more innings until Aaron Miles pinch-hit for him in the seventh. He revealed that the thumb was broken after he had postgame X-rays.

“It’s bad. It’s broken,” Furcal, who had already been nursing a sore left wrist, said late Monday. “I knew as soon as the play happened. I got up and I didn’t feel it.”

Furcal, picked for his second All-Star team last season despite battling injuries, is hitting .192 with two RBI in seven games.

In 2010, he had 34 multihit outings while playing in only 97 games — including seven straight multihit games from June 26-July 3. He batted .300 for the third time in five seasons and Los Angeles went 31-17 when he scored at least one run and 13-2 when he scored two or more.

The 33-year-old has had his share of hard luck with injuries.

After a healthy 2009, he had two stints on the DL last year, with a strained left hamstring and a lower back strain. Furcal missed 125 games in 2008 with a lower-back injury and opened the ’07 season on the disabled list with a sprained left ankle.

SAN FRANCISCO — Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Casey Blake, who already was on the 15-day disabled list earlier this season with a lower-back/rib-cage injury, was out of the lineup for the second game in a row on Monday night against the San Francisco Giants because of soreness in his left thigh.

Blake has had difficulty running since a game-ending collision with San Diego Padres third baseman Chase Headley, resulting in Headley being called out for interference as Blake tried to field a ball hit by Cameron Maybin with the bases loaded in which Blake had no chance to throw out the speedy Maybin at first.

Blake hasn’t played since.

“Casey was a little worse overnight,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. “He was having trouble running and going side to side. [Trainer] Stan [Conte] was a little concerned, I guess, that the area could pull up a little bit and keep him out for a long time. So I guess we’ll just go day to day from there.”

Mattingly said Blake, who is 4-for-11 in the three games he has played this season, is available to pinch hit.
