Dodgers 4, Mets 3: Yasiel Puig and Hanley Ramirez hit back-to-back homers and Adrian Gonzalez went deep for the third straight game as visiting Los Angeles beat New York for the sixth consecutive time.

Hyun-Jin Ryu (4-2), making his first start since April 27, gave up two runs on nine hits and struck out a season-high nine in six innings as the Dodgers matched their longest winning streak against the Mets since 1996. Two relievers bridged the gap to Kenley Jansen, who gave up a run before earning his 13th save to help Los Angeles beat New York for the 11th time in 12 meetings and improve to 8-1 in their last nine at Citi Field.

Rookie Eric Campbell belted his first career homer while Juan Lagares, David Wright and Wilmer Flores each had three hits for the Mets, who lost for the sixth time in seven games to drop a season-worst five games under .500. Rookie Jacob deGrom (0-2) went six innings and allowed only four hits, but three left the park in his second career start.

Gonzalez hammered a titanic shot into the upper deck in right field to lead off the second for the Dodgers, who managed only two hits through five innings off deGrom. Los Angeles quickly added to the lead in the sixth when Puig drilled a one-out homer to left-center and Ramirez followed by golfing a breaking ball into the seats in left to make it 3-0.

New York responded in the bottom of the frame when Curtis Granderson reached on a two-out single and Campbell lined an outside fastball over the wall in left to cut the deficit to 3-2. The Dodgers added a huge insurance run in the eighth when Chone Figgins scored on a potential inning-ending double-play comebacker by Ramirez, but reliever Jeurys Familia hesitated on the throw and the Mets were unable to turn two.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Puig has reached base in a career-high 22 consecutive games and has at least one hit in 18 of his last 19 contests. ... Campbell's homer extended his hitting streak to six games and halted Ryu's 31-inning road scoreless streak - the second-longest stretch to start a season in 50 years (Roger Clemens, 35 in 2005). ... The Dodgers placed 3B Juan Uribe on the 15-day disabled list with a hamstring injury suffered in the ninth inning of the series opener. ... DeGrom had a leadoff single in the fifth inning and has the only two hits by New York pitchers this season.
