St. Louis, July 30: Matt Kemp delivered a two-run, two-out single in the 10th inning Thursday that brought the Los Angeles Dodgers a 5-3 win over St. Louis.

Los Angeles took a 3-2 lead in the seventh on a two-run double by Rafael Furcal, but the Cardinals tied it in the bottom of the inning on a homer by Rick Ankiel.

Ankiel, however, struck out with the bases loaded in the eighth to end a St. Louis threat.

Ryan Franklin began his second inning of work in the 10th, but was relieved by Dennys Reyes with nobody on and one out.

Reyes (0-2) promptly walked Andre Ethier and Casey Blake followed with a single.

St. Louis, July 2: Todd Wellemeyer took a shutout into the eighth inning Thursday and Ryan Ludwick drove in two runs to bring St. Louis a 5-2 win over San Francisco.

Wellemeyer (7-7) blanked the Giants until Aaron Rowand hit a one-out, two-run homer in the eighth. Three relievers combined to record the last five outs, with Ryan Franklin working a perfect ninth for his 19th save.

The Cardinals have won back-to-back games after dropping six out of seven.

Wellemeyer lasted 5 1/3 innings while giving up six hits -- two of them solo homers by Curtis Granderson.

Colby Rasmus twice gave St. Louis the lead with a run-scoring single in the third and an RBI triple in the fifth.

Ryan Ludwick drew a bases-loaded walk in the seventh, giving St. Louis an insurance run that turned out to be the game-winner.
