Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
ATLANTA, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- Dee Gordon doubled and scored on a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning Saturday, handing the Los Angeles Dodgers a 2-1 win over Atlanta.
Gordon led off the extra frame with a two-bagger off Anthony Varvaro (0-1), went to third on James Loney's sacrifice and easily scored on Juan Rivera's fly ball to left, putting Los Angeles ahead.
Javy Guerra followed with a 1-2-3 bottom of the 10th to pick up his 15th save for the Dodgers, winners of 11 of their last 12 games.
The victory went to Mike MacDougall (2-1), who retired the Braves by striking out Brooks Conrad with two on and two out in the bottom of the ninth.
Dan Uggla accounted for Atlanta's only run with a solo homer.
Mike Minor went six innings, yielding one run on six hits while fanning seven for the National League wild card-leading Braves.
