Juan Uribe scores winning run on grounder to 3rd, and Dodgers top Angels 5-4 in Freeway Series
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Juan Uribe scored on David Freese's errant throw to the plate in the ninth inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers evened the Freeway Series with a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday.
Uribe hit an early three-run homer for the NL-leading Dodgers. He then singled against Kevin Jepsen (0-1) and eventually scored from third on Andre Ethier's grounder.
Freese was charged with his second throwing error of the night when Chris Iannetta couldn't hang on to the ball.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Albert Pujols' eighth-inning homer tied it for the Angels (67-45).
Pujols and Iannetta had RBI doubles for the Angels, who scored three runs on Clayton Kershaw, but got just one hit after the third inning.
Kenley Jansen (2-3) struck out the side in the ninth.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Kershaw recovered from a rocky start to pitch seven innings of seven-hit ball, but got no decision for just the second time in 12 starts.
Kershaw left with a chance for his major league-leading 14th victory, but Pujols drove his 513th homer — his first since July 9 — into the left-field bullpen against Brian Wilson.
Mike Trout went 2 for 3 while facing Kershaw in the regular season for the first time in their careers. Kershaw hadn't pitched against the Angels since 2011.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Trout beat out an infield single in the first inning, and he laced a double down the line on the first pitch of the third. Kershaw struck out Trout on three pitches in the fifth.
Trout and Pujols tied it with back-to-back doubles in the third.
The Dodgers went ahead on an unearned run without a hit in the sixth. Matt Kemp reached on a throwing error and eventually scored on Scott Van Slyke's long fly.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Hector Santiago yielded five hits and three walks while pitching into the sixth for the Angels.
