Dodgers power up, hold on to beat Reds
For the second time in 12 days the Dodgers took advantage of David Holmberg, continuing their rejuvenation against the Reds with a 7-4 victory on Wednesday night in Cincinnati.
The Dodgers once led 6-0 but that lead got trimmed to two runs because nothing is ever easy, and the Dodgers' bacon was saved for a second straight night with Luis Avilan striking out Jay Bruce with runners on base to end the eighth inning.
One night after striking out on a curveball with the bases loaded, the tying runs were on base for Bruce, who had no chance on a high fastball this time from Avilan, preserving the Dodgers' two-run lead into the ninth, where Kenley Jansen finished the job.
