Dodgers 3, Angels 0: Hyun-Jin Ryu threw a two-hitter with seven strikeouts and no walks as host Los Angeles beat its Southern California neighbor for the second straight night.

Luis Cruz broke a scoreless tie with a two-run homer in the fifth and catcher A.J. Ellis drove in the other run for the Dodgers with a one-out single in the sixth. Ryu (6-2) retired 19 straight batters before Angels catcher Chris Iannetta doubled with two outs in the eighth.

Angels starter Joe Blanton (1-8) delivered his second consecutive quality start, allowing three runs and seven hits in seven innings without walking a batter, but it remains to be seen whether he’ll remain in the rotation with starters Jered Weaver and Tommy Hanson coming off the disabled list this week.

Cruz hit a 2-2 pitch over the fence in left for a two-run homer, his first extra-base hit of the season. The home run was also the first allowed by the Angels in the last nine games.

Matt Kemp, who was dropped from third to fifth in the batting order after striking out eight times in 12 at-bats coming into the game, hit a one-out double in the sixth and came home on a single to right by Ellis for a 3-0 lead.
