Penny dominates as Dodgers pound Phillies

<h3>LA DODGERS 10, PHILADELPHIA 3</h3>LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Brad Penny continued his solid pitchingright where he left off prior to the All-Star break, and thehot-hitting Dodgers gave him early run support.


Penny tossed seven solid innings and Jeff Kent and Matt Kempeach clubbed three-run homers as the Dodgers cruised to a 10-3victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday.


Rafael Furcal and Juan Pierre each had a pair of hits for LosAngeles, which is hitting over .300 as a team since Bill Muellerwas named hitting coach a month ago.


"My job is to score runs and right now I'm doing that," Pierresaid. "I don't care where I hit in the lineup because Furcal isgetting on base and scoring runs too."


Penny (11-1) allowed one run and four hits while striking outeight and issuing three walks. The burly righthander has nowwon four of his last six starts.


"It felt good to get back out there after the break but it was alittle uncomfortable going," Penny said. " (I) threw a lot offirst pitch strikes and had good command."


Kent's third-inning blast was his 12th homer of the season andthe 357th of his stellar career.


"It's good to see him (Kent) heating up," Little said. "He'sthe type of guy that can carry a team when he's hot."

In comparison, the rookie Kemp's sixth-inning shot was his thirdof the season, putting him above double-digits with 10 for hisyoung career.


"I was a little jumpy in my first two at-bats so I just wantedto calm down, and I got a pitch to hit and hit it a good ways,"Kemp said.


The Dodgers got to Phillies starter Jamie Moyer (7-8) early,putting six runs on the board in the first three innings.

"I just didn't have my control from the get go," Moyer said."The location of my pitches were up and out over the plate."

Russell Martin led things off with a RBI ground in the first toeven the game at 1-1 after Chase Utley's RBI single had givenPhiladelphia the early lead.


The RBI groundout was followed by a sacrifice fly by rookieJames Loney to put the Dodgers ahead for good. NomarGarciaparra capped off the scoring first with a RBI double toleft which plated Kent and made it a 3-1 advantage.

Moyer took one for the team, suffering through 5 1/3 innings inorder to give the beleaguered bullpen a small break. Theveteran lefthander surrendered nine runs and nine hits, whilestriking out four and walking a pair.


"They have a good lineup over there and are swinging hot bats,"Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "We have been swininggood bats, too, so we just got to come out here tomorrow andplay hard."


Los Angeles has now scored 32 runs in the four games sincereturning from the All-Star break last week.


"I'll take that run support anytime I go out," Penny said.

Philadelphia, which suffered its 10,000 regular-season loss infranchise history against the Cardinals on Sunday night, hasyielded 10 runs in each of its past two games.
