Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
ATLANTA, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- James Loney and Andre Ethier had all the RBI in a five-run seventh Friday that rallied the Los Angeles Dodgers to an 8-6 victory over Atlanta.
Los Angeles came back from a five-run deficit to win their fifth straight.
Atlanta built its 5-0 lead with the help of an error by LA shortstop Dee Gordon in the second that made two of the runs unearned.
Juan Rivera started the comeback with a two-run single in the fourth and drove in another run with a base hit in the sixth. Los Angeles then sent 10 men to the plate in the seventh while scoring five times on five hits.
Consecutive one-out singles by Justin Sellers, Tony Gwynn and Gordon loaded the bases and Loney cleared them with a double to right. An intentional walk to Matt Kemp and an unintentional one to Rivera again filled the bases and Ethier came through with a two-out single to center that brought home two runs.
All the runs in the seventh inning were charged to reliever Arodys Vizcaino (1-1), who retired only one batter and took the loss in relief of Brandon Beachy.
Hong-Chin Kuo (1-2) worked two scoreless relief innings to get the win. Javy Guerra gave up a homer to Dan Uggla in the ninth, but still captured his 14th save.
