PITTSBURGH, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Derek Lowe pitched seven innings and Casey Blake had three hits and two RBI Tuesday to pace the Los Angeles Dodgers' 6-2 win over Pittsburgh.

The Dodgers have won 12 of their last 14 games.

Blake finished a double short of the cycle and scored twice, and Manny Ramirez extended his hitting streak to seven games with a 3-for-5 effort, with an RBI double.

Lowe (14-11) allowed one run on five hits without issuing a walk. The right-hander has now won four straight starts and six of his last seven decisions.

Jeff Karstens (2-6) gave up five runs on 11 hits in suffering his sixth straight loss for the Bucs, who have lost eight of their last 11 games.

Ryan Doumit and Brandon Moss drove in the Pirates' runs.
