LOS ANGELES — Zack Greinke came within one strike of his fifth career shutout, Hanley Ramirez and Yasiel Puig homered, and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Chicago Cubs 6-2 Monday night, ending a two-game skid. Air Max Plus Se Sale . The Cubs lost for the eighth straight time to the Dodgers, including a four-game sweep at Wrigley Field earlier this month. The Dodgers equaled their longest winning streak against the Cubs in franchise history, set from June 9, 1974-May 19, 1975. Greinke (13-3) tied his season high with nine strikeouts and he walked two while improving to 5-0 this month. The right-hander has won 10 of 11 decisions since June 22. Greinke helped himself offensively, too, with a two-out hit in the fourth that scored the Dodgers first run. After giving up a single to Starlin Castro to open the game, Greinke retired the next 13 batters before Donnie Murphy singled in the fifth. Greinke got the first two outs of the ninth before running into trouble. Anthony Rizzo doubled, then Greinke hit Nate Schierholtz before Brian Bogusevics RBI double scored Chicagos two runs. Brian Wilson came in to strike out Murphy for the final out. Greinke issued consecutive one-out walks to Murphy and Welington Castillo in the eighth before Darwin Barney grounded into a fielders choice to third. Murphy advanced to third and Castillo was out at second. The Dodgers thought they had completed the double play, but second baseman Mark Ellis throw didnt beat Barney to first, leading Dodgers manager Don Mattingly to shout, „Out!“ from the dugout. Greinke then got pinch-hitter Dioner Navarro to ground out to third, ending the inning. Jake Arrieta (1-1) gave up four runs and six hits in five-plus innings, struck out three and walked five in his first road start for the Cubs since being acquired on July 2 from Baltimore. Puig hit his 13th homer on his first pitch from Michael Bowden with two outs in the eighth. Ramirez homered off Carlos Villanueva with one out in the seventh, extending the Dodgers lead to 5-0. Los Angeles had tacked on a pair of runs in the sixth on Nick Puntos RBI double and Carl Crawfords sacrifice fly that made it 4-0. The Dodgers took a 2-0 lead in the fourth on two-out hits by Greinke and Crawford. Greinkes single scored A.J. Ellis, who walked, while Crawfords ground-rule double to deep left scored Punto, who walked. Notes: Dodgers OF Matt Kemp got a day off from rehabbing the sprained left ankle that has had him on the DL since July 24. He will run the bases on Tuesday and Wednesday. „When you start running the bases youre usually getting closer,“ Mattingly said. … The Cubs fell to 30-35 on the road, where they are better than at home (25-41). … The Dodgers clinched the 15th calendar month with 20 or more wins since 1958. Their previous was a 20-8 mark in May 2010. Air Max Plus Tn White . Tortorella told The Vancouver Province hell be cheering for Team Sweden to win gold when they take on the defending Olympic champions on Sunday morning. „I hope Sweden wins, cause I dont think Hammer (Dan Hamhuis) is going to play, judging by whats happened. Air Max Plus Store . – The Washington Redskins have signed free agent offensive lineman Mike McGlynn.The Springboks completed another European rugby tour unbeaten and the Wallabies won three straight tests for the first time in a year in autumn internationals on Saturday. Meanwhile, Argentina halted its worst losing run by defeating Italy 19-14 in Rome, and Romanias bid for an unbeaten year was ruined in its final game in Bucharest by Fiji, which triumphed 23-7. South Africa celebrated its first win over France in France since 1997 after a gutsy 19-10 result. The Springboks made a perfect start with JP Pietersen dotting down barely a minute in from his chargedown of scrumhalf Morgan Parra. Left winger Yoann Hugets try just before halftime gave the French hope after they trailed 13-0, but the Springboks never looked like being overtaken and had two tries ruled out for knockons. Only penalties were added in the second half. „What makes this team special is that guys really step up if they need to. You win these games by being mentally very tough and struggling through,“ Heyneke Meyer said. He coached South Africa to 10 wins out of 12 this year, losing only to the All Blacks. They compounded Frances dismal season with an eighth defeat in 10 tests. „Were not at their level yet,“ France coach Philippe Saint-Andre said. „Were still missing that little bit extra.“ Australia shrugged off a troubled build-up and the absence of key players to scrape past Scotland 21-15 at Murrayfield. Coach Ewen McKenzies plans were disrupted by suspensions and injuries but the Wallabies patched-up backline scored tries through fullback Israel Folau in the first half and winger Chris Feauai-Sautia at the start of the second, with Christian Lealiifano booting the rest of the points. The Scots, looking for a thirdd successive win over Australia, were only 13-12 behind at halftime thanks to Greig Laidlaws unforgiving boot and were never more than a converted try in arrears after the break. Nike Air Max Plus Tn Ultra Sale. But a familiar lack of cutting edge out wide proved their undoing. „Im sick of being good losers,“ Scotland coach Scott Johnson said. Argentina could thank Nicolas Sanchez for helping to end its eight-match losing streak. Sanchez hit three out of four goalkicks plus a dropped goal to pass 100 points in tests for the Pumas, while Tommaso Allan, making his first start for Italy, nailed only three out of eight. The lead changed five times and both teams scored a try. But even after conceding 16 penalties, the Pumas prevailed again in Italy, where they havent lost for 15 years. Romania had won nine matches and drawn one this year but were undone by the Fijians, who scored three tries to a penalty try. In Tbilisi, Georgia beat Samoa 16-15 for the first time. A week after losing to the United States by a last-minute penalty, Georgia won with an injury-time penalty by Merab Kvirikashvili. Samoa scored two highlight tries in the first half, including a 30-meter solo effort past four defenders by flanker Jack Lam, but they couldnt shrug off the Lelos and suffered a fourth straight loss, and third on its European tour after falling to Ireland and the French Barbarians. Also, Japan hammered Spain 40-7 in Madrid, Canada handled Portugal 52-8 in Lisbon, and the United States topped Russia 28-7 in London, after which USA Rugby chief executive Nigel Melville called the lack of a live webfeed of the match disappointing, and promised the Eagles would not play in Europe „where we cannot get an appropriate feed.“ ‚ ‚ ‚
