LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Matt Kemp has suddenly found his power, and its helping keep the Los Angeles Dodgers atop the NL West. Kemp singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning after homering in consecutive games for the first time in over a year and the Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves 3-2 Wednesday night for their season-best fifth straight victory. "Boy, is he locked in right now," Atlanta starter Alex Wood said. Los Angeles leads San Francisco by three games. Zack Greinke struck out a season-high 13 and departed with the lead, but didnt factor in the decision. He is 14-3 at Dodger Stadium with a 2.27 ERA in 23 home starts with the team. "All the pitches were working," he said. "A lot of stuff came together." Kemp scored the Dodgers first two runs of the game, including his 11th homer leading off the second. "Hes been swinging the bat pretty well now," Greinke said of Kemp. "The biggest difference is the power that comes with it. The past week the balls been driven. Its pretty exciting to see." Kemp notched his ninth career walk-off hit, and first since July 18, 2012, against Philadelphia. He hadnt homered in consecutive games since last July. "Its a great feeling knowing you helped the team win a game," he said. "Were pretty confident every day. It feels good to be in position to score a run or take that extra base. Im not as fast as I want to be, but its coming." Pinch-hitter Justin Turner singled to open the 10th and took second on a wild pitch by David Hale (3-3). Kemp followed with the winning single to left. J.P. Howell (3-3) got the win in relief, walking two and striking out one in one inning. The Braves tied the game 2-2 on Justin Uptons home run off closer Kenley Jansen leading off the ninth. Uptons three hits tied a season high. "As soon as it left my hand I just prayed for Justin not to hit it," Jansen said. Uptons brother, B.J., struck out four times. Juan Uribe gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead in the eighth on a hard-hit single with two outs to shortstop Andrelton Simmons, whose throw home sailed wide as Kemp crossed the plate. Greinke allowed one run and five hits in eight innings while walking one. He was making his first start at home since June 28. Kemp, who homered twice on Tuesday night, tied the game 1-1 on his 11th homer of the season. Simmons had an RBI single that gave Atlanta a 1-0 lead in the second. Wood gave up one run and six hits in seven innings. He struck out eight and walked two. "Greinkes pretty impressive," Wood said. "I was happy I was able to go toe-to-toe with him for seven innings." TRAINERS ROOM Braves: Outfielder Jason Heyward was out of the lineup for the second straight day with a sore back he strained last week chasing a foul ball. Jordan Schafer started in right field for the first time this season. Manager Fredi Gonzalez said its likely hell give Heyward an extra day off once he says hes ready to go again. Dodgers: Greinke said his calf was sore in the first couple of innings but got better as the game went on. Hyun-Jin Ryu will get an extra day of rest before he starts on Saturday. Dan Haren, who has lost all four of his starts this month, will take the mound for Fridays series opener against the Cubs. ON DECK: Braves: Julio Teheran (10-6, 2.71 ERA) takes the mound for the series finale on Thursday. The only time the right-hander has faced the Dodgers was in last years NL division series, when he tossed 2 2-3 innings in a loss. Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw (12-2, 1.76 ERA) is coming off a three-hit shutout victory over the Giants in his last start. The left-hander leads the NL with 11.30 strikeouts per nine innings as a starter. He has 140 strikeouts and 15 walks in 112 1-3 innings. GREAT GRAB Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez made a leaping one-handed grab on a liner by Freddie Freeman for the final out of the eighth inning. MIXED BAG Gonzalez was 1-1 on challenges. He lost on a pickoff play with the go-ahead run on base in the 10th. Schafer walked and was sacrificed to second by Ramiro Pena. Howell turned and fired, with Dee Gordon completing the pickoff to empty the bases. Gordon was involved in the Braves first challenge in the third. He attempted to steal second and was called safe, but was ruled out when the call was overturned. Cheap Houston Texans Gear . JOHNS, N.

The biggest shock of this seasons competition was on when Watford took a 2-0 lead after 30 minutes at Etihad Stadium, only for a remarkable Aguero-led comeback by City in the final half-hour. The Argentina striker produced clinical finishes in the 60th and 79th minutes to level the score before Aleksandar Kolarov put City in front in the 87th. Houston Texans Jerseys Outlet . Goldeyes third baseman Ryan Pineda drove in three runs and the pitching staff didnt allow an earned run, as Winnipeg downed Kansas City 6-3 in American Association exhibition action at CommunityAmerica Ballpark in Kansas. Wholesale Houston Texans Jerseys .Jeff Green, playing in his second preseason game after missing the first four because of a calf strain, had 18 points. The Celtics (3-3) shot 47.2 per cent from the floor and made 15 of 37 3-point attempts.What is it about the Whitecaps and spectacular goals to salvage games that end 2-2? Saturdays stunning howitzer from Uruguayan marksman Sebastien Fernandez will go down as one of the great finishes in the Caps short MLS era. A monstrous tackle from Steven Beitashour kept the game alive, when it seemed referee Kevin Stott was ready to blow for time. And like a basketball player whose internal shot clock was down to 0.5, Fernandez took a quick look up before unleashing a 35-yard rocket that even Nick Rimando couldnt stop. The scenes at Rio Tinto stadium were as contrasting as youll ever see in a regular season game; the Whitecaps and their staff leaping and hollering like 12-year-old kids whove won an imaginary World Cup, while a devastated Real Salt Lake team lay strewn about the pitch in disbelief. Its not the first time a stunning strike has rescued a point for the Whitecaps in a 2-2 game. They did it a week ago against LA, when it was Kekuta Manneh who bombed home a cracking equalizer in the 86th minute. Late last year, in a wild affair with Portland, Camilo Sanvezzo sideways scissored a goal of the year winner, only sseconds after the Whitecaps had fallen behind.dddddddddddd And in June of 2011, Eric Hassli should have earned goal of the year honours for his late, sensational volley that dropped into the top corner past Kasey Keller, only moments after the Whitecaps had fallen behind in Seattle. Four point-earning goals with aesthetic beauty, individual brilliance, against Western rvals, all while the Whitecaps were trailing. But there was something extra special about the rally at Real. It was executed by kids. The midfield and forward six combined to average 22.6 years of age. The RSL team that tried to hang on averaged 29.45 years, among them captain Kyle Beckerman, who sarcastically sneered a good luck making the playoffs in Darren Mattocks direction. As Carl Robinson continues to shape his squad and older players move on, you just wonder how the young Whitecaps will look when they learn how to start games the same way theyve been finishing them. In the meantime, another 2-2 scoreline, which seemed improbable until the 86th minute will be savoured by a Whitecap fan base that has already been spoiled by late-game dramatics.
