LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Kevin Kouzmanoff had three RBI and Adrian Gonzalez had a solo homer Sunday to lead the San Diego Padres to a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Padres' starter Tim Stauffer (4-6) got the win, going 6 2/3 innings and allowing three runs on seven hits with one walk and three strikeouts.

San Diego won the rubber match of a three-game series and has put together four straight series wins.

LA starter Hiroki Kuroda (5-6) -- who was activated from the 15-day disabled list before the game -- allowed four runs on four hits with three walks in five innings. He picked up the loss in his first start since he was hit in the head by a comeback liner by Arizona's Rusty Ryal Aug. 15.

Andre Ethier drove in two runs with a double for the Dodgers, who have lost four of their last seven games and have seen their NL West lead over the Colorado Rockies cut to 3 ½ games.
