LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Matt Kemp has suddenly found his power, and its helping keep the Los Angeles Dodgers atop the NL West. Kemp singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning after homering in consecutive games for the first time in over a year and the Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves 3-2 Wednesday night for their season-best fifth straight victory. "Boy, is he locked in right now," Atlanta starter Alex Wood said. Los Angeles leads San Francisco by three games. Zack Greinke struck out a season-high 13 and departed with the lead, but didnt factor in the decision. He is 14-3 at Dodger Stadium with a 2.27 ERA in 23 home starts with the team. "All the pitches were working," he said. "A lot of stuff came together." Kemp scored the Dodgers first two runs of the game, including his 11th homer leading off the second. "Hes been swinging the bat pretty well now," Greinke said of Kemp. "The biggest difference is the power that comes with it. The past week the balls been driven. Its pretty exciting to see." Kemp notched his ninth career walk-off hit, and first since July 18, 2012, against Philadelphia. He hadnt homered in consecutive games since last July. "Its a great feeling knowing you helped the team win a game," he said. "Were pretty confident every day. It feels good to be in position to score a run or take that extra base. Im not as fast as I want to be, but its coming." Pinch-hitter Justin Turner singled to open the 10th and took second on a wild pitch by David Hale (3-3). Kemp followed with the winning single to left. J.P. Howell (3-3) got the win in relief, walking two and striking out one in one inning. The Braves tied the game 2-2 on Justin Uptons home run off closer Kenley Jansen leading off the ninth. Uptons three hits tied a season high. "As soon as it left my hand I just prayed for Justin not to hit it," Jansen said. Uptons brother, B.J., struck out four times. Juan Uribe gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead in the eighth on a hard-hit single with two outs to shortstop Andrelton Simmons, whose throw home sailed wide as Kemp crossed the plate. Greinke allowed one run and five hits in eight innings while walking one. He was making his first start at home since June 28. Kemp, who homered twice on Tuesday night, tied the game 1-1 on his 11th homer of the season. Simmons had an RBI single that gave Atlanta a 1-0 lead in the second. Wood gave up one run and six hits in seven innings. He struck out eight and walked two. "Greinkes pretty impressive," Wood said. "I was happy I was able to go toe-to-toe with him for seven innings."
