Dodgers win on Kemp walk-off, no one hurt

You know the Dodgers had to be thinking about Kendry Morales when they carefully, but enthusiastically, met Matt Kemp at home plate tonight. Kemp's home run in the 10th inning beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 1-0. Kemp was allowed to touch the plate unmolested before the back-slapping began. Over the weekend, Morales was lost to the Angels for the season when he broke his leg in a celebration at home after a game-winning homer.

Ely again: Dodgers rookie John Ely blanked Arizona on two hits over seven innings before coming out. He has been the Dodgers' most dominating starting pitcher so far this season.
