Dodgers score 4 runs in 7th to beat Cubs 5-2

LOS ANGELES — Andre Ethier singled in a pair of go-ahead runs in the seventh inning, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers rally past the Chicago Cubs 5-2 Saturday night for their fifth consecutive victory.

The NL West leaders have their third winning streak of five or more games for the first time since May 7-12. The Dodgers overcame a balk by starter Mat Latos that put the Cubs ahead in the fifth to pound out six of their 11 hits in a four-run seventh.

J.P. Howell (5-1) earned the win in relief, striking out one in one-third of an inning.
