LOS ANGELES, July 22 (UPI) -- Los Angeles Dodgers starter Randy Wolf had plenty of offense behind him Tuesday as he pitched a solid 7 1/3 innings and beat the Cincinnati Reds 12-3.

Wolf (5-4) scattered four hits, struck out four and gave up a pair of runs while also going 2-for-3 at the plate.

"Any time you get a no-brainer win it feels good," said Wolf. "I was able to change speeds, had good defense behind me and I threw strikes. Having the big lead was a nice comfort zone."

Manny Ramirez drove in two with a first-inning triple, but left the game after being hit in the hand by a pitch. X-rays were negative, the Dodgers reported.

Rafael Furcal drove in four runs for the Dodgers, and Matt Kemp and James Loney each drove in a pair as the Dodgers outhit the Reds 12-5.

Homer Bailey (1-2) took the loss after being bombed for nine runs -- six earned -- on eight hits in 2 2/3 innings.

Los Angeles scored twice in the first and second innings before adding five in the third and another three in the fifth to take a 12-1 lead.

Cincinnati scored a run in the eighth on an RBI double by Drew Sutton and added another in the ninth on a home run by Joey Votto. Jonny Gomes accounted for the first Reds run with a solo home run in the second inning.
