ST. LOUIS — Chase Utley, Logan Forsythe and Chris Taylor combined to reach base 11 times and totaled six runs, helping the streaking Los Angeles Dodgers rally past the St. Louis Cardinals 9-4 on Tuesday night to move into first place in the NL West.
Utley finished a homer shy of the cycle as the Dodgers won their season-high sixth straight game. Forsythe reached five times, including three walks, and Taylor reached three times.
The Dodgers moved ahead of the Colorado Rockies, who lost 10-4 to the Seattle Mariners.
Adrian Gonzalez’s sacrifice fly and Utley’s RBI double started the Dodgers comeback in the third.
