PHILADELPHIA -- Adrian Gonzalez is crushing baseballs again and the Los Angeles Dodgers are riding their veteran slugger up the standings.Gonzalez hit two home runs and had five RBI to help the Dodgers extend their lead in the NL West with a 7-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.Justin Turner also homered and Joc Pederson reached base four times for the first-place Dodgers, who moved 1 1/2 games ahead of the San Francisco Giants, who lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. On Tuesday, Los Angeles took over sole possession of the division lead for the first time since May 10.I just continue to do the things that are working, said Gonzalez, who had an epidural in early May to deal with back problems. When you feel good physically and you can take the right path, you just keep doing the things that are working -- good base, be on your back side and then let your hands work.With the Dodgers trailing 1-0 in the fourth, Gonzalez lined a 3-1 fastball into the seats in right-center field for a three-run homer. Turner singled and Josh Reddick walked to lead off the inning.Gonzalez followed that with a two-run homer in the seventh after Corey Seager led off the inning with a double.It was the 34-year-old first basemans first multi-homer game of the season and the 20th of his career. Gonzalez, who has 12 homers, extended his hitting streak to 10 games and is 18 for 40 in that span.With Adrian, I know his preparation, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. I know he always has the ability to drive in a run. I think early on, he was a victim of trying to out-think things as far as beating the shift. There was a point about five weeks ago when he decided to get the head to the ball and pull the baseball in the air a little bit more.Turner hit his 22nd home run after Seager singled in the fifth, pushing the Dodgers ahead 5-1.Scott Kazmir (10-6) allowed eight hits and two earned runs in five-plus innings to pick up his first win in four starts and improve his road record to 6-0. He escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fifth and reliever Grant Dayton got out of another bases-loaded jam in the sixth after Kazmir allowed a leadoff homer to Tommy Joseph followed by three straight singles.Kazmir admitted he didnt feel very good throughout his start but was pleased to see the lineup have his back.Finally I feel like the offense is catching up to the pitching staff, Turner said. It makes it fun to play when everybodys having good at-bats.Making the third start of his career, Jake Thompson (1-2) surrendered just one hit through the first three innings before allowing five runs, four hits and three walks over the next two to get chased after five.I think I was a little too fine, falling behind hitters, Thompson said. When youre facing a lineup like those guys have, thats not a very good place to be.UTLEYS BIG WELCOME (AGAIN)Chase Utley went 0 for 5 with two strikeouts in his second game back in Philadelphia since the Phillies traded him to the Dodgers last August. In his emotional return a night earlier, the Dodgers second baseman homered twice and received two curtain calls from the adoring Philly fans. Utley, a six-time All-Star who helped the Phillies win five straight NL East titles and the 2008 World Series, was greeted to another long standing ovation leading off Wednesdays game.DOING IT WITH HIS GLOVE, TOOGonzalez made a diving catch to snag a line drive by Odubel Herrera in the first, before falling right on first base to complete a double play.LOVING THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVEThe Dodgers are 12-3 in their last 15 games at Citizens Bank Park.

An MRI determined there is no structural issue with Roses back.It is stiff, he tries to get it loose and then it feels like it might turn into a spasm, so he doesnt want to really jar it or turn hard on it, Hornacek said.The Knicks have taken a cautious approach with Rose, who has a history of serious injuries, though not related to his back.Rose played in just 39 percent of games in the previous four seasons because of various injuries, including three significant knee ailments. Hed played in every game in his first season with the Knicks before suffering back spasms in New Yorks win over Miami last Tuesday.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
