Dodgers 5, Rays 0: Zack Greinke pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings and Adrian Gonzalez belted a two-run homer as host Los Angeles extended its winning streak to four games.
Nick Punto had a pair of hits and two RBIs as the streaking Dodgers handed Tampa Bay its season high-tying fourth consecutive loss and improved to 19-3 since the All-Star break. Skip Schumaker went 4-for-4 as Los Angeles moved 6 1/2 games ahead of Arizona atop the National League West.
Greinke (10-3) scattered six hits to reach double-digit victories for the sixth straight season. He struck out seven and walked one to win for the seventh time in eight decisions and improve to 6-1 at Dodger Stadium this year.
Roberto Hernandez (6-12) had his second straight abbreviated outing, lasting four innings and yielding five runs on eight hits to fall to 1-8 on the road. Ben Zobrist had a pair of hits for the Rays but rookie Wil Myers was hitless in four at-bats to end his streak of reaching base at 22 games in a row.
Gonzalez staked Greinke to 2-0 lead in the first inning when he golfed a low breaking ball from Hernandez into the seats in right field for his 16th homer. Los Angeles doubled the lead in the third on a two-run single by Punto, who notched his fourth two-hit game in the last seven outings.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Dodgers rookie RF Yasiel Puig went 0-for-2 and drew a pair of intentional walks, halting his hitting streak at eight games. ... The Rays avoided a big inning in the bottom of the fourth when they successfully pulled off the hidden ball trick, with 3B Evan Longoria tagging out Juan Uribe for the second out. ... Friday's stunning comeback by the Dodgers, when they scored four runs in the ninth inning, set a franchise record with their 11th consecutive victory in a one-run game. It also marked only the third time in Tampa Bay's history that the Rays lost on a walk-off error.
