Dodgers take down Lincecum, Giants

LOS ANGELES -- Andre Ethier hit a go-ahead two-run homer off Tim Lincecum, Ronnie Belliard added a two-run single against the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Giants 6-2 Sunday to go 30 games over .500 for the first time in almost 24 years. Randy Wolf (11-6) shrugged off two home runs by leadoff hitter Andres Torres, allowing five hits in six-plus innings with three strikeouts and two walks. The Dodgers, trying to win consecutive N.L. West titles for the first time since 1977-78, reduced their magic number to eight for clinching the division and four for securing a postseason berth for the third time in four years. Los Angeles is five games ahead of Colorado in the division race with 12 to play. The Giants fell 4 1/ 2 games behind the Rockies in the N.L. wild-card race. Colorado beat Arizona 5-1 Sunday.
