MLB: LA Dodgers 6, San Diego 4

LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- Fourth-inning homers by Blake DeWitt and Angel Berroa accounted for three runs Wednesday and lifted the Los Angeles Dodgers past San Diego 6-4.

The Dodgers won their fifth straight, climbed back to the .500 mark and remained 1 1/2 games behind Arizona in the chase for the National League West crown.

San Diego scored three times in the top of the fourth to take a 3-1 lead, but the Dodgers came back in the bottom half of the inning to go in front for good.

Matt Kemp opened the frame with a single off losing pitcher Wade LeBlanc (0-1) and DeWitt followed with a homer to right that tied the game.

Berroa swung and missed at two offerings from LeBlanc before hitting his homer to left. Los Angeles added a run in the inning on Andre Ethier's double and Casey Blake's single.

Hiroki Kuroda (8-10) survived 5 1/3 innings to get the win. He gave up four runs on 10 hits while striking out four. Jonathan Broxton pitched the ninth for his 12th save.

After taking Thursday off, the Dodgers will host Arizona for three games.
