CINCINNATI, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Matt Kemp's 12th-inning sacrifice fly Sunday lifted the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-2 victory against the Cincinnati Reds.

Los Angeles compiled 11 hits off five Cincinnati pitchers, but no batter had more than one.

Kemp also hit a solo homer and starter Clayton Kershaw added a fifth-inning RBI single for the Dodgers, who have won four of five.

The winner was James McDonald (4-3).

Closer Jonathan Broxton recorded his 29th save.

He walked two but fanned the side in the bottom of the 12th.

Cincinnati's runs scored on James McDonald's first-inning two-run homer.

Scott Rolen had three hits, while both Drew Stubbs and Paul Janish had two hits for the Reds, who have lost two in a row following a five-game winning streak.

The losing pitcher was Cincinnati closer Francisco Cordero (2-4).
