The Blue slugged five homeruns tonight en route to a 12-8 win in 10 innings in Milwaukee. Andre Ethier (17th), James Loney (7th), Manny Ramirez (9th), Russell Martin (2nd) and Matt Kemp (11th) all went deep for the Dodgers.
Kemp's homerun was a grand slam that capped off a six-run outburst to break a 6-6 tie in the 10th inning. For Kemp, it was his third grand slam of the season. He now has 11 hits in his last 16 at bats including three straight three-hit games. Kemp capped off the night with a running, over-the-head basket catch to dead center field to end the game.
Manny's homerun tied him with Mickey Mantle for 15th on the all-time homerun list with 536.
Meanwhile, Chad Billingsley struggled a bit in his shortest outing of the season, and Jonathan Broxton came in to pitch the bottom of the 10th inning and struggled a bit, as well, giving up two runs.
With the win, the Dodgers move their major league-best record to 55-31, reaching a season-high 24 games over .500. They remain seven games up on the Giants, who won 8-0 tonight over the Padres in San Francisco, behind a no-hitter from Jonathan Sanchez.
