Furcal then sent a pitch into the left-center field gap that just eluded a diving Laynce Nix, handing the Dodgers a victory in the middle game of a weekend series against the Nationals.

Los Angeles had trailed 6-2 at one point in the game.

Dodgers starter Ted Lilly, who allowed six runs on eight hits over five innings, drove in three runs for Los Angeles.

Javy Guerra (2-0) earned the victory with a scoreless top of the ninth.

Jayson Werth and Rick Ankiel each contributed two-run doubles for the Nats.
