05/22/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matt Kemp and Casey Blake homered to back the strong pitching of John Ely, as the Los Angeles Dodgers continued their May success with a 6-4 win over the Detroit Tigers.
Blake DeWitt hit a two-run triple for the Dodgers, who have won three in a row and 12 of their last 13 games. The Dodgers moved to 16-4 this month, challenging the team's best winning percentage in a month since 1958 when they went 17-3 in April 1977.
Ely (3-1) allowed eight hits and two runs over six-plus innings to win his third straight start. Jonathan Broxton surrendered a run in the ninth but struck out Brandon Inge, leaving runners at second and third to end the game. It was Broxton's 10th save of the year.
"John was not as sharp as he has been but he fought, he threw strikes and did a good job with his offspeed pitches," said Dodgers skipper Joe Torre.
Armando Galarraga (1-1) gave up eight hits and six runs -- five earned -- over 4 2/3 innings for the Tigers, who will try to avoid a three-game sweep Sunday.
"Galarraga did not have a good outing. Today his breaking ball wasn't good and he paid for it," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland.
Brennan Boesch homered and drove in three runs in defeat.
A lead-off shot to center from Boesch in the eighth brought Detroit within 6-3. Johnny Damon and Ramon Santiago singled to start the ninth, but Broxton fanned pinch-hitter Alex Avila. Miguel Cabrera then grounded into a fielder's choice before Boesch's double made it a two-run difference. Inge then ended the game.
An RBI single from Magglio Ordonez and a run-scoring groundout from Boesch made it 2-0 in the top of the first, but Manny Ramirez lifted a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the inning.
Blake's homer to left to begin the LA second tied the game, and the Dodgers went ahead in the fourth. Kemp doubled to begin the inning and scored on a single from James Loney. Blake singled and DeWitt followed with his triple to right field for a 5-2 lead.
Kemp homered in the fifth before the Tigers came up empty with a bases-loaded threat in the seventh when Cabrera grounded out back to pitcher Hong-Chih Kuo.

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line)
