PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Rubby De La Rosa pitched five effective innings in his first career start and Dee Gordon had three hits in his first start, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 Tuesday night.

De La Rosa (2-0) allowed one run, constantly having to pitch out of trouble because he walked five and gave up four hits.

Matt Kemp hit a two-run homer for the Dodgers, who've won six of nine.

Roy Oswalt (3-4) lost his fourth straight decision. Oswalt allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings to remain winless since April 21.
