LOS ANGELES -- Rookie sensation Yasiel Puig singled home the tying and go-ahead runs in the seventh inning, Andre Ethier had a two-run double, and the Los Angeles Dodgers opened a four-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies with a 6-4 victory on Thursday night. Greinke (4-3) struck out five over seven innings and allowed four runs on 12 hits, including solo homers by Domonic Brown and Chase Utley, to help the Dodgers get their sixth straight win. The right-hander came out for a pinch-hitter in the seventh after giving up Utleys tiebreaking homer in the top of the inning. Puig was shaken up crashing into the right field auxiliary scoreboard while trying to track Utleys ninth homer in the top of the seventh that put Philadelphia ahead 4-3. However, Puig was none the worse for wear -- as he would prove moments later. The Dodgers loaded the bases in the bottom half against rookie reliever Justin De Fratus (2-2) without the benefit of a hit. A.J. Ellis walked and Juan Uribe reached on a bunt that first baseman Ryan Howard tried to field before slipping and falling on the play. Nick Punto advanced the runners with another bunt, and Hanley Ramirez drew an intentional walk while batting for Greinke. Skip Schumaker was called out on strikes for the second time, but Puig slapped an 0-2 pitch to left field to put the Dodgers ahead 5-4. The Cuban wunderkind is batting a robust .427 with seven homers and 16 RBIs in just 23 big league games. Matt Kemp, playing in his third game after missing a month with an injured right hamstring, was 2 for 4 with an RBI double. He led off the eighth with a single, then stole second and third base and scored on Ellis sacrifice fly. Kenley Jansen followed J.P. Howell and Ronald Belisario out of the bullpen and got the last three outs for his seventh save in nine chances. Phillies rookie Jonathan Pettibone threw 96 pitches through six innings and was lifted for a pinch-hitter after giving up three runs and four hits. The right-hander retired his final 15 batters, a stretch that began with a sacrifice bunt by Greinke after a leadoff single and stolen base by Punto in the second inning. Pettibone found himself trailing 3-0 after just 17 pitches. Kemp hit an RBI double inside third base, and two more runs came in on Ethiers double off the fence in right-centre. Right fielder Delmon Young prevented another run, sprinting toward the corner and stretching out to grab Ellis extra-base bid. Young tied a career high with four hits -- all singles -- and put himself within seven of 1,000 for his career. Brown, in his first career at-bat against Greinke, put Philadelphia on the board in the second when he drove a 3-2 pitch to centre for his 21st homer and tied Colorados Carlos Gonzalez for the NL lead. Greinke then gave up a single to Young and a walk to Kevin Frandsen before picking off Young at second base. The Phillies tied it 3-all in the fifth with four consecutive one-out hits, including run-scoring singles by Utley and Jimmy Rollins -- only his second RBI in 10 games. Greinke, who hasnt committed an error in his last 87 starts, minimized the damage by turning Ryan Howards comebacker into an inning-ending double play after a visit from pitching coach Rick Honeycutt. NOTES: Former Phillies C Darren Daulton, who played for their 1983 NL championship team and spent the majority of his 15 big league seasons with them, was diagnosed with two brain tumors and will undergo surgery next week.
