Clayton Kershaw masterful as Los Angeles Dodgers defeat Arizona Diamondbacks

LOS ANGELES -- Andrew Toles homered and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-1 on Friday night at Dodger Stadium.

Clayton Kershaw (2-1) allowed a run and four hits with eight strikeouts and one walk in 8 1/3 innings to beat former teammate and Diamondbacks pitcher Zack Greinke.

Kershaw was two outs from a complete-game shutout before Chris Owings lined an RBI double in the ninth inning. Owings was 2-for-4 against Kershaw.

Toles hit his third home run of the season, a two-run shot in the eighth that capped the scoring for the Dodgers (6-5). Justin Turner had two RBIs and Adrian Gonzalez, Logan Forsythe and Yasiel Puig each drove in a run.

Greinke (1-1) experienced another rough outing in the City of Angels. He was tagged with five runs and 10 hits with four strikeouts and three walks in five innings.

Greinke, who served up five home runs to the Dodgers in a 10-2 loss in September, is 1-3 against Los Angeles since signing with Arizona before last season.

Gonzalez's RBI single scored Corey Seager, who reached on a base hit, with one out in the third for a 1-0 lead. Forsythe followed with another run-scoring single for a 2-0 edge.

In the fourth, after a two-out single by Toles and a walk to Seager, Turner drilled a two-run double to right for a 4-0 Los Angeles advantage.

Puig's sacrifice fly in the fifth drove in Forsythe for a 5-0 lead.
