CINCINNATI– Clayton Kershaw pitched five solid innings for his first win since June 27, Gavin Lux and Corey Seager hit home runs and the fiery Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Cincinnati Reds 8-5 on Sunday.

Will Smith joined the home run party for the Dodgers, who have won eight of the last new games, and who started the day two games behind San Francisco in the NL West.

The Reds lost their eighth series in a row, after starting the day two games behind St. Louis for second place as a wild card in the NL.
