Reliever Rudy Seanez (4-1) got the win, retiring the final two batters in the seventh.

Toronto's Casey Janssen (2-1) came on in the eighth to protect a 3-2 lead, but he gave up a single to Nomar Garciaparra, a double to Kent and an intentional walk to Luis Gonzalez.

Martin then put the Dodgers in front with his double. Olmedo Saenz followed with a single to drive in a run and Matt Kemp doubled in another.

After Jason Frasor relieved Janssen, Bobby Abreu and Rafael Furcal added run-scoring singles.
