PHOENIX -- With his parents and a contingent of South Korean students from nearby Arizona State cheering him on, Hyun-Jin Ryu had the biggest night yet in his young major league career. Not just on the mound. At the plate, too. The left-hander struck out nine in six innings and got his first three big league hits as the Los Angeles Dodgers held off the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-5 Saturday. "I cant remember," Ryu said through an interpreter when asked the last time he had three hits in a game. "Even in high school, I dont think I got three this in one game." Adrian Gonzalez went 3 for 4 with a home run and two RBIs as the Dodgers stopped a six-game losing streak in Arizona dating to last season. Matt Kemp singled in two runs, Skip Schumaker had an RBI double and Andre Ethier singled in a run for Los Angeles. The Dodgers led 6-1 after six innings, but Arizona tried to rally behind pinch-hit RBIs from Eric Hinske, Eric Chavez and Aaron Hill, and a home run by Martin Prado. Ryu (2-1) allowed three runs and six hits with just one walk. "He has good stuff. He has four pitches and he throws them at any time," Arizonas Paul Goldschmidt said. "He located his fastball on both sides of the plate. He used his changeup. He has a little curveball and a hard slider. He was mixing it up and keeping guys off balance." It was Ryus 100th professional victory. He said his parents have been there "for 99 of them." His parents jumped up and down when he doubled in his first at-bat. He also had two singles, becoming the first Dodgers pitcher with three hits in a game since Randy Wolf went 3 for 4 against Arizona at Chase Field on Aug. 16, 2009. Ryu expects to succeed on the mound, which Dodgers manager Don Mattingly noted from the day the pitcher arrived. "Im sure he has still lots of things to deal with as far as the culture and the language and a lot of things," Mattingly said. "But the pitching part, he came in with that, and that confidence has been there since day one." The hitting was another matter. "I was most surprised by my hitting today," Ryu said. "Surprise is the key word." Brandon League pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save in as many tries. Arizonas Ian Kennedy (1-1) gave up six runs and 10 hits in 5 2-3 innings, striking out four and walking four, one intentionally. The Diamondbacks Cliff Pennington was ejected for the first time in his big league career after slamming his bat to the plate following a called third strike by umpire Jim Reynolds with runners on first and second in the seventh. The bat broke, and Pennington went back and picked up the shattered piece before he left the field. Arizona went on to score two runs in the inning and close to 6-3. Prados homer off Kenley Jansen leading off the eighth made it 6-4. Miguel Montero singled with one out and Hill, out of the lineup since being hit in the left hand by a pitch on Tuesday, doubled to deep left with two outs to make it a one-run game. Ramon Hernandezs RBI double down the right-field line in the ninth boosted the lead. Gonzalez led off the fourth with his second home run of the season, then the Dodgers added two in the fifth. Ryu singled, then Crawford reached on a fielders choice and flew around the bases to score from first on Schumakers double. Gonzalez was walked intentionally, then Ethier singled sharply to bring home Schumaker with a 3-0 lead. Arizona scratched one across in the fifth when Pennington led off with a single, took second on a wild pitch, advanced to third on Kennedys sacrifice and scored when A.J. Pollock grounded out. Los Angeles chased Kennedy in a three-run sixth, with all the damage coming with two outs. Ryu singled and Carl Crawford doubled to put runners at second and third. Schumaker walked to load the bases, then Kemp -- batting .189 entering the game -- singled in two runs. Left-hander Matt Reynolds replaced Kennedy and gave up an RBI single to Gonzalez putting the Dodgers up 6-1. Ryu left after giving up singles to Alfredo Marte and Josh Wilson to start the seventh. Reliever Ronald Belisario got Pennington out on strikes, but pinch hitters Hinske and Chavez each singled in a run to cut it to 6-3. NOTES: The Dodgers announced LHP Chris Capuano will start Tuesday against San Diego, taking the spot that would have gone to Zack Greinke before he broke his collarbone in the bench-clearing brawl with the Padres on Thursday night. ...

Radwanska is scheduled to meet four-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams for the title Saturday. Radwanska played with the ailment Thursday, when she beat Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-4 and became the first Polish player to reach a Grand Slam final since 1939. Charles Woodson Raiders Jersey. -- Jamie Barresi is returning to the University of Ottawa. Kenny Stabler Jersey. -- It was another tough outing for Brett Cecil.KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Josh Hamilton is starting to warm up along with the weather. Hamilton started the Angels comeback when he homered leading off the seventh inning, and Los Angeles beat the Kansas City Royals 5-2 Sunday for its eighth straight win. Los Angeles trailed 2-0 before Hamilton homered on the first pitch of the seventh from Wade Davis (3-4), giving the former AL MVP home runs in consecutive games for only the third time since signing with the Angels during the off-season. Hamilton has five RBIs in his past five games after driving in five in his previous 39. "Its good to see him driving him the ball," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He started things off. His power is important to us no doubt." The Angels were unable to get into their dugout until about 90 minutes before the game because bees swarmed into it. A beekeeper was summoned to solve the problem. Jerome Williams (4-1) then allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings for the Angels, on their longest winning streak since taking eight straight from May 22-29 last year. When they play at the Freeway Series rival Dodgers on Monday, they can stretch a winning streak to nine for the first time since August 2004. Kansas City has lost nine of 10 and 16 of 20, dropping to 21-26. In only three of those 16 losses have the Royals scored more than three runs. Plate umpire Marty Foster ejected Kansas Citys Billy Butler for yelling from the dugout in the sixth, an inning after the designated hitter was called out on strikes and had words with Foster. Scioscia was tossed by Foster in the ninth. "Im not the only one who had a disagreement with him in this series," Butler said. "He said some things to me I didnt like and it got me fired up. Whenever I went and looked at video, it made me more mad. In the heat of the moment you react. It takes it to a different level. Thats unfortunate and I will try to control my emotions a little better. Im not going to say it isnt going to happen again, but its unfortunate." After Hamiltons home run, Davis walked two of his next three batters, Bruce Chen relieved, and J.B. Shuck and Erick Aybar hit consecutive RBI singles for a 3-2 lead. "He was throwing a pretty good game and then when Josh hit that homer everything started turning around," Williams said. "We already know our bats are there. Everybody is getting hot, not jjust Josh.dddddddddddd Thats what we need. We need Josh to get back." Luke Hochevar walked Mark Trumbo and hit Howie Kendrick with a pitch in the eighth, and Shuck and Chris Iannetta hit consecutive run-scoring singles against Aaron Crow. Williams improved to 3-0 with a 2.03 ERA in his last four starts. Sean Burnett, who replaced Williams, threw only 10 pitches and left with left forearm tightness. Burnett came off the disabled list last week after missing 22 games with left forearm irritation. Scioscia said "well see in 24 hours" the extent of Burnetts injury. Ernesto Frieri pitched an eventful ninth for his 10th save in 11 chances, getting in trouble when he walked Chris Getz and gave up Alcides Escobars third hit of the game. Alex Gordon struck out, Jeff Francoeur flied out in a 12-pitch at-bat and Eric Hosmer grounded out, ending the 28-pitch innings. Davis did not allow a runner past second in the first six innings. "We got into trouble in the seventh," Davis said. "The walks put us in a bad spot. The biggest goal is to keep it at zero. With the way weve been playing, we needed a win." Kansas City built its lead on David Loughs two-out RBI triple in the second and a run-scoring throwing error by Williams on a pickoff attempt at first with runners at the corners in the fifth. George Kottaras drew his 10th walk in his 35th plate appearance and swiped second for his first steal since June 22, 2010. "We havent played well and we know it," Butler said. "Ill stand up and say were not playing the way we can. Its frustrating. A lot of guys in here are frustrated." NOTES: Scioscia said after the game RHP Jered Weaver, who threw a bullpen session Sunday, would start Wednesday against the Dodgers. Weaver went on the DL on April 8 with a broken left arm. ... RHP Tommy Hanson, who threw 75 pitches Saturday in a simulated game in Arizona, could rejoin the rotation this week. ...
