ST. LOUIS -- Rich Hill pitched five innings of one-run ball and Chase Utley, Cody Bellinger and Logan Forsythe homered as the Dodgers topped the Cardinals, 5-1, to begin a four-game series at Busch Stadium.
The win is the Dodgers' fifth in a row, tying their longest win streak this season. Hill (2-2) got the win for his outing, his third start in five tries this year with five innings pitched and one earned run. From that point on, the bullpen did its job, pitching four innings of shutdown ball to extend its scoreless streak to 21 2/3 innings.
