Ronald Belisario (2-0) gave up a leadoff home run to Alex Rios in the top of the eighth that tied the score 6-6. Belisario got the win -- the Dodgers' fourth victory in six games -- when Loney scored on a wild pitch by Matt Thornton (2-4) in the bottom of the eighth.

Loney reached on a one-out single and, after Dee Gordon drew a walk, Loney took third on a fielder's choice. Bobby Abreu came in to pinch-hit for Belisario and Loney scored on the wild pitch.

Kenley Jansen was perfect in the ninth, earning his 11th save.
