Billingsley Pitches Phillies To 7-2 Victory Over Dodgers

The right-hander struck out three and walked one on the same mound where he pitched eight seasons and won 81 games for the Dodgers before undergoing a pair of right elbow surgeries. Billingsley lost his first start 9-0 on May 5 and went back on the disabled list two weeks later because of a strained right shoulder. Jeff Francoeur doubled in Maikel Franco, who drew a leadoff walk and Darin Ruf, who singled, and then scored on Domonic Brown's RBI groundout to second base. Anderson gave up a season-high-tying four runs — three earned — and six hits in five innings, struck out five and walked two in his first career start against the Phillies that was shortened because the Dodgers needed some offense. Ben Revere added a two-run single in the sixth and Francoeur homered in the seventh for a 7-2 lead. Dodgers: LF Carl Crawford, currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, could be reinstated from the disabled list after the All-Star break. Surkamp gave up four runs over 3 1-3 innings in his Dodgers debut, a three-run homer by Ryan Howard and a solo shot by Odubel Herrera. [...] baseman Cesar Hernandez went 1 for 4 with a walk to extend his career-high hitting streak to 12 games, longest this season by a Phillies hitter. Dodgers: LH Clayton Kershaw (5-6, 3.08) has pitched 14 scoreless innings and allowed five hits in his last two starts against the Phillies from last season.
