PITTSBURGH -- Aaron Miles saw a lot of green to his left and decided a slumping team needed a little jolt of electricity. The Los Angeles Dodger second baseman provided it with a perfectly executed bunt, a small play that led to a much-needed big one as the Dodgers broke out of a lengthy hitting slump in a 10-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night. "I took a chance," Miles said. "It was a tight game and I gave it a shot. If you give me a chance like that, Im going to take it every time." Miles bunt with two outs and a man on in the sixth extended the inning. Andre Ethier followed with a run-scoring single then Matt Kemp drilled the first pitch he saw from Pittsburgh ace Kevin Correia (5-3) into the centre field seats for a three-run homer that took some of the sting out of a bitter loss on Monday night. The Dodgers unraveled in that one following a controversial call in the eighth that ended with Kemp getting doubled off first when umpires ruled Juan Uribes sinking liner was caught by Pittsburgh left fielder Jose Tabata. Uribe and manager Don Mattingly were ejected arguing the call and the Pirates went on to win 4-1. This time, late in a tight game, the Dodgers didnt leave it up to chance. Kemps drive ignited a slumping offence as Los Angeles posted a season-high 15 hits. "We kept grinding," Mattingly said. "After last night, when things went wrong for us, to turn it around on the next night, it was really big for us." Ted Lilly (3-3) had little trouble over six innings and Los Angeles won for just the second time in seven games. The left-hander has received a paltry 2.99 runs of support since the start of the 2010 season, the lowest in the majors. He made sure not to waste a rare offensive outburst by one of baseballs lowest-scoring teams. "We were pretty tough to stop tonight, and its really fun out there when our bats are going like that," Lilly said. "The dugout is more fun, and everyone feels a little better about ourselves." Lilly limited Pittsburgh to two runs on four hits, striking out four. Andrew McCutchen hit two home runs for the Pirates, who were hoping to give themselves some breathing room after making a rare move above .500 on Monday. Instead, they dropped to 18-18 when Correia ran into trouble in the sixth. Correia cruised through the first five innings and appeared to be on his way to another clean frame after easily retiring the first two batters in the sixth. Then the pinpoint control that has fueled his solid start to the season briefly disappeared. Carroll singled to centre and Miles dropped a bunt down the third-base line. Pittsburghs Brandon Wood let the ball roll, hoping it would go foul. It didnt, though Mattingly gave all the credit to Miles. "He was on his own," Mattingly said with a laugh. Ethier lined a single up the middle just out of the reach of second baseman Neil Walker to put the Dodgers up 1-0. A pitch later, the lead ballooned to 4-0 as Kemp drilled a Correia fastball over the wall in centre for his seventh home run of the season. "(Miles) put a perfect bunt down, kept the inning alive and the three-hole hitter comes up and fists the ball and the cleanup hitter hits a three-run homer," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "It looks good when you draw it up that way." McCutchen responded in the bottom half with a solo shot to left and Walker added a sacrifice fly to cut the lead to 4-2. But the Dodgers added some insurance an inning later thanks to a little charity by the Pirates. Rod Barajas doubled with one out, then Jerry Sands smacked the ball back at Correia. The ball caromed off Correia toward first, where Steve Pearce gloved it and tried to flip it between his legs to Correia covering. Correia never saw it and even if he did, hed have been powerless to grab it as it sailed 20 feet left of the bag. Barajas scored and Correia hobbled to the dugout, his night over. Correias steady presence at the top of the rotation has been a pleasant surprise for the Pirates. But while hes been lights out on the road, things havent been so good at PNC Park. Hes failed to pick up a win in all three of his home starts. Not that the bullpen was any better. The Dodgers added five more runs in the eighth to send the most of the modest crowd home early. Kemp, Ethier and Barajas had two hits each for Los Angeles, whose 10 runs were the most since putting up 12 in a win over the Chicago Cubs on April 22. "Well take a game like this whenever we can get it," Carroll said. "It was good to have a few big innings, its something we havent had around here in awhile." Mattingly has preached patience during his teams slow start. He has called a couple of team meetings -- the last in New York over the weekend -- reminding his players to not get too worked up over their recent slide. For a night, at least, the Dodgers looked relaxed. Then again, they almost always do against the Pirates. Los Angeles has dominated Pittsburgh over the last decade, winning 70 per cent of the meetings between the two teams and taking every season series between the clubs since 2001.

ABBOTSFORD, B.C. -- Turner Elson put up a lot of points in junior, but it was his first professional goal that ignited the Abbotsford Heat Friday night. Elson scored with 4.6 seconds to go in the second period to even the score against the Milwaukee Admirals, contributing to the Heats 3-2 overtime victory in American Hockey League action. "It was obviously the turning point of the game," said Abbotsford head coach Troy Ward. "If we go down after two, its a different game. It certainly gave us some momentum and gave our young kids some energy in the locker room. We went into the third with a different mindset after that." Brett Olson flipped the puck ahead and Elson jumped around Admirals defender Anthony Bitetto to one-hand the puck past goalie Magnus Hellberg. "I tried to get past the defenceman and I saw the goalie wasnt going out for it, and I got my stick on it and chipped it over his foot there," said Elson, who played three games over two seasons for the Heat on a tryout basis. "The first goal as a pro, its been a long time waiting," said the former Red Deer Rebel. "You dream of getting your first goal as a pro -- maybe not as greasy as mine, but they all count in the end." Greg Nemisz scored the winner at 1:58 of overtime. Corban Knight, who had two assists, rushed down the wing and found Nemisz standing in front. He redirected it past Hellberg for his first of the season. "It wasnt pretty but we got a big goal at the end there," said Heat alternate captain Carter Bancks. "Thats how you win hockey games." Ben Hanowski also scored for Abbotsford (2-1-0) in the clubs home opener. Reto Berra stopped 24 shots in the victory. "Both goalies, I thought, stole the show," said Ward. "They both made outstanding saves and took some pucks away from guys that maybe they thoughtt they could squeeze by.dddddddddddd Reto battled very hard to find pucks, which was key." Patrick Cehlin had a goal and an assist for the Admirals in their season opener, while Taylor Beck also scored for Milwaukee. Magnus Hellberg made 28 saves. After a scoreless first period, the visitors drew first blood while shorthanded. Austin Watson stole the puck from Abbotsfords Chad Billins behind the net and centred for Cehlin, who slid a backhand around Berras poke check attempt at 6:45. The Heat took their first lead of the game at 13:11 of the third when Hanowski went top shelf from in close. He began the play by hounding a Milwaukee defenceman into giving the puck away to Knight, who found Josh Jooris down low. Jooris quickly tapped it across to Hanowski for his third of the season. "One of the things Ben has been able to do his whole career -- high school and St. Cloud State -- is score goals," said Ward. "He seems to be fitting into that same role here. Hes off to a good start. Hes had key goals for us. It was a good pass by Jooris, but still, its a goal scorers goal when you tuck it under the bar short side there." The Admirals tied the game a little more than two minutes later. After a point shot bounced off a few bodies in front, the puck squirted right to Beck, who lifted it over the sprawling netminder for his first goal of the season. However, Beck got called for a tripping penalty in overtime and the Heat took advantage. "It was definitely big for our team," said Knight. "We had a good push in the third and got that goal, and then they scored to get us back on our heels. It was important to push back, especially in overtime, to get that goal. It would have been disappointing if we didnt get that win tonight." Abbotsford finished 1-for-7 with the man advantage, while Milwaukee was 0-for-4. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
