It looked promising the first time Andre Ethier hit a home run, his solo shot putting the Dodgers up by a run in the eighth. Only, in the ninth, the Dodgers fumbled away the lead and the game went into extra innings.
Given another chance in the 10th inning, Ethier hit a two-run homer to leave the Dodgers with a 5-3 victory over the Angels at Dodger Stadium.
That wrapped what the Dodgers called a pretty good weekend. Three sellout crowds. Plenty of sunshine. And a three-game sweep of the Angels to gain a couple games on the Giants in the standings.
