Dewitt's 9th Inning Single Wins It For Dodgers

LOS ANGELES (AP) ―

Rookie Blake DeWitt's RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning lifted the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-5 comeback win over Cincinnati on Monday night, snapping the Reds' six-game winning streak.

Russell Martin led off the ninth against David Weathers (1-3) with an infield single up the middle and continued to second when shortstop Paul Janish threw the ball over the head of first baseman Joey Votto and into the dugout.

Martin advanced on Jeff Kent's groundout, and Weathers intentionally walked James Loney and Kemp before DeWitt stroked an opposite-field to left on a 2-2 pitch to deliver Martin with the winning run. DeWitt is 6-for-6 with 12 RBIs in bases-loaded situations.

Takashi Saito (2-1) pitched a perfect ninth for the victory.
