Dodgers 5, Giants 4
At Los Angeles, Jason Phillips hit a two-out, RBI single to cap a two-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting Los Angeles over San Francisco.
The Dodgers entered the ninth with only one hit since the third, and Tyler Walker (2-2) retired the first two batters.
Phillips grounded a full-count pitch into right field, and thrust his fist into the air after the ball got past diving second baseman Ray Durham. The blown save was just the third for Walker in 18 chances.
Rookie Steve Schmoll (2-0) pitched two perfect innings and struck out three to earn the win for the Dodgers.
The Tampa Bay Devil Rays designated struggling Japanese right-hander Hideo Nomo for assignment on Saturday.
Nomo lasted just 2 2-3 innings in Friday's 11-6 loss to Toronto, allowing seven runs and nine hits with three walks.
It was the third time in the past five starts Nomo allowed at least six runs, and dropped him to 1-7 with a 10.32 ERA in road games this season.
