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. They have won five straight series in Philly.TRAINERS ROOMPhillies: RHP Aaron Nola was transferred to the 60-day DL, ending his season. Out since Aug. 3 with a right elbow strain, the 23-year-old was 6-9 with a 4.78 ERA in 20 starts.The Phillies announced Wednesday that Nola was replaced on the 40-man roster by RHP Frank Herrmann, while Elvis Araujo was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Herrmann made his first major league appearance since 2012, pitching a scoreless inning Wednesday.Dodgers: The Dodgers plan to activate LHP Adam Liberatore (2-0, 1.62) on Friday. The reliever made his second rehab appearance Tuesday night, striking out two in a scoreless inning for Triple-A Oklahoma City.UP NEXTThe Phillies and Dodgers conclude their three-game series Thursday night with Philadelphia RHP Jerad Eickhoff (8-12, 3.82) opposing RHP Ross Stripling (3-4, 4.07).

Dave Attwood has been ruled out of Englands clash with Fiji on Saturday and there is also a doubt over the fitness of Billy Vunipola.Bath second row Attwood injured a knee in the 37-21 victory over South Africa at Twickenham and will return to his club having received treatment at the squads Surrey training base.Adding to Englands problems is the news that world player of the year nominee Vunipola, who forced Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth to withdraw from the match following a clash of heads, will be unable to train on Monday or Tuesday.A Rugby Football Union spokesman was unable to clarify the nature of the injury except to describe it as a knock -- but it places a question mark over his availability for the second autumn international.England forwards coach Steve Borthwick explained. Weve got a few bumps and bruises from Saturday.Dave Attwood is having his knee treated. Hes having an injection on his knee and is then returning to Bath, so is unavailable.England have opted against drafting Josh Beaumont into the squad to cover for Attwood and will instead rely on Charlie Ewels, who is already with the team.If Vunipola fails to prove his fitness in time for the Grand Slam champions push for a 12th successive Test win, then Nathan Hughes will start at number eight in what would be his full debut.ddddddddddddHughes won his first cap off the bench against South Africa, with prop Kyle Sinckler and centre Ben Teo also blooded for the first time.Borthwick believes the trio are ready to start against Fiji if required.They all did very well. What was noticeable for me was the ovation the players got from the supporters as they were leaving the field, Borthwick said. When the guys came on for their own cap the cheer they got was brilliant and thats a big moment in any players career.They did really well and it improves the competitiveness in our squad, making selection harder, which is what Eddie [Jones] wants.All three players bring a lot of power and explosiveness to the field. They have some special talents and now theyve experienced the Test arena. Theyll get better and better the more experience theyll get. ' ' '
