Dodgers rough up Dickey

TORONTO:— R.A. Dickey’s longest outing of the season was wasted as the Toronto Blue Jays fell to Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 on Saturday afternoon at Rogers Centre. Darwin Barney had an RBI single and Kevin Pillar added an RBI double for the Blue Jays, who saw a four-game win streak end. The Blue Jays (16-16) have now lost six straight starts by Dickey (1-4) this season. L.A.’s offence got to the knuckleballer in the third inning. After Justin Turner reached to load the bases on a fielder’s choice, Chase Utley scored on a passed ball from Blue Jays catcher Josh Thole, giving the Dodgers a 2-1 lead. Adrian Gonzalez then singled to score a pair of runs. Joc Pederson opened the scoring in the second inning, taking Dickey’s 2-1 pitch deep over the centre field wall for his fifth home run of the season.
