 ST. LOUIS (AP) - James Loney broke a scoreless tie with a two-run homer off Adam Wainwright with one out in the ninth inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers held on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 on Friday night.
Before Loney hit his fifth homer into the right-field seats on an 0-1 pitch, the Dodgers had been on the verge of being shut out for the fifth time in seven games. After Russell Martin singled, Loney, who batted third for the fourth time all season, homered for the first time since July 24.
It also was the first long ball allowed by Wainwright (10-9) in seven starts covering 48 1-3 innings. Cardinals pitchers had thrown 25 consecutive scoreless innings before Loney's homer.
