BOX SCORE

LOS ANGELES – The Phillies rallied for a run in the top of the 10th inning to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-2, on Tuesday night.

Carlos Ruiz reached second on a two-base error with one out in the inning and Domonic Brown followed with an RBI double to break the tie.

The win was the Phillies’ third in a row and second in as many nights against the NL West-leading Dodgers.

Halfway through a 10-game road trip, the Phillies are 3-2. They are 10-10 overall with Cole Hamels coming off the disabled list to pitch Wednesday night.

Starting pitching report
A.J. Burnett had his second straight strong outing. He gave up just six hits and two runs over 6 2/3 innings. Burnett took a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh, but the Dodgers manufactured the tying run behind the speed of Dee Gordon.

Dodgers’ lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu allowed 11 baserunners in six innings, but just two runs.

Bullpen report
Jake Diekman preserved a 2-2 tie by getting Carl Crawford to pop out with a man on second to end the seventh.

Mike Adams pitched a scoreless eighth and Antonio Bastardo struck out two with a runner on base to end the ninth and send the game to extra innings. Bastardo (3-1) got the win.

Jonathan Papelbon had his sixth save.

Lefty J.P. Howell took the loss.

At the plate
The Phillies’ go-ahead run was unearned.

The Phillies had plenty of baserunners, but getting them home was a problem for much of the game. They had two men on base with one out in the second and got nothing. They had two on with no outs in the third and got nothing. They got a one-out triple from Ruiz in the fourth, but he was cut down on a failed contact play.

Finally in the fifth, the Phils got no-out singles from Burnett and Ben Revere. Marlon Byrd (RBI double) and Ryan Howard (sacrifice fly) got the runs home.

In the eighth, with the score tied, Jayson Nix was thrown out trying to steal second with one out.

Revere had four hits. Burnett had three hits.

The Dodgers tied the game at 2-2 on a two-out RBI single by Justin Turner in the seventh. The hit delivered Gordon from third after he had put on a speed clinic. Gordon turned a ground-ball base hit by second baseman Freddy Galvis into a hustle double. He then stole third base.

In the field
Dodgers leftfielder Crawford dropped Ruiz’s pop up in the 10th, setting up the go-ahead run.

Utley rests
Chase Utley did not start and manager Ryne Sandberg explained why (see story).

Up next
Hamels makes his season debut Wednesday night against Dodgers’ right-hander Zack Greinke (3-0, 2.42).
