Dodgers Sweep Marlins

Posted May 1, 08 11:31 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Matt Kemp drove in the tiebreaking run with a ninth-inning single, and the Los Angeles Dodgers completed their second consecutive series sweep by beating the Florida Marlins 5-3 last night. The Dodgers have won six straight, their longest winning streak since taking seven in a row to close the 2006 season, while the Marlins have lost three in a row.

Joe Beimel (3-0) threw one pitch, retiring Jeremy Hermida on a popup to end the eighth. Takashi Saito pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save in six chances for the Dodgers, who have won eight of their past 10 games in Miami. Juan Pierre went 2-for-3 with a two-run double. Cody Ross hit his first home run for the Marlins.
