Victory Pushes Dodgers Record to 57-47
The Los Angeles Dodgers got a strong performance from pitcher Ramiro Mendoza, who stymied the Toronto offense en route to a 5-2 win at Dodger Stadium. Mendoza went 6.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 3. His record improves to 9-6. The first-place Dodgers, at 57-47, now lead their division by 4½ games.

The Dodgers got a big boost from third baseman Chris Brown who had a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the bottom of the sixth inning off Blue Jays hurler Jeff D. Robinson. It was his 23rd RBI of the season and put Los Angeles on top, 2-1.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Brown told the Los Angeles Daily News.
