Without slugger Matt Kemp, the Los Angeles Dodgers

PHILADELPHIA -- Without slugger Matt Kemp, the Los Angeles Dodgers are a scrappy bunch that still finds ways to win. Sam Koch Jersey. Dee Gordon hit a go-ahead single to back Chris Capuano and the Dodgers held on to beat the struggling Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 on Wednesday night. "Our big guy is out," Gordon said, referring to Kemp. "So weve got to make up for it. Its always fun to win, but especially when you come from behind." Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino and Ty Wigginton homered for the Phillies, who have lost a season-worst five straight games. Kemp, the NL MVP runner-up last year, landed on the disabled list for the second time with a hamstring injury May 31. The major league-leading Dodgers are 4-2 since he went down again. Capuano (8-2) gave up four runs and four hits in five innings in one of his least effective starts this season. The lefty has a 2.82 ERA and is tied for the most wins in the majors. Three relievers combined for three scoreless innings before Kenley Jansen finished for his ninth save, including three in this series. Jansen allowed an RBI double to Wigginton in the ninth, but struck out pinch-hitter Jim Thome looking and retired pinch-hitter Brian Schneider on a popup to leave two runners on. "Im a little exhausted," Jansen said. "I got through it. My stuff was just all right." The Dodgers will try to complete a four-game sweep Thursday afternoon. Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick (2-5) allowed five runs and four hits in 5 2-3 innings. After Rollins hit a two-run shot to give the Phillies a 4-2 lead in the fifth, Kendrick quickly gave it back the next inning. He walked pinch-hitter Jerry Hairston Jr. to force in a run with two outs before exiting. Raul Valdes came in and allowed Gordons two-run single that put the Dodgers ahead 5-4. "I was just looking for something I could put in play," Gordon said. The Dodgers tacked on an insurance run in the ninth when Jake Diekman walked James Loney with the bases loaded. Wigginton drove one out to left-centre leading off the fifth to tie it at 2. With two outs, Rollins connected to give the Phillies a short-lived lead. Victorino lined his seventh homer into the left-field seats to put the Phillies up 1-0 in the second. But the Dodgers answered with two in the third. Adam Kennedy led off with a single and Tony Gwynn Jr. tripled to deep right to tie it. Gwynn scored when first baseman John Mayberry Jr. booted Capuanos grounder for an error. Help could be on the way for the last-place Phillies, the five-time defending NL East champions who are six games behind first-place Washington.
