Thursday’s N.L. result

Dodgers 7, Reds 4: At Cincinnati, Eric Stults pitched into the seventh inning in his season debut and Matt Kemp emerged from his slump by hitting a two-run double, setting up a victory for Los Angeles and a three-game sweep of the rock-bottom Reds. Stults gave up six hits and struck out a career-high five. He also drew a walk and had a hit-and-run single that set up a run. Kemp led off the fourth inning with his sixth homer, and doubled home two more runs in the fifth. The Dodgers hadn’t won three in a row since sweeping Cincinnati in Los Angeles May 19-21.
