NEW YORK (AP) -- Adrian Gonzalez snapped a ninth-inning tie with a two-run single off suddenly struggling closer Jeurys Familia, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the New York Mets 4-2 on Sunday night.
Curtis Granderson hit a tying triple for the Mets immediately after Clayton Kershaw was lifted with two outs in the eighth. But the Dodgers quickly regrouped for their sixth victory in seven games since losing four straight.
 
Kershaw denied win but Gonzalez lifts Dodgers over Mets, 4-2
 
Los Angeles took two of three at Citi Field before a trio of sellout crowds on a weekend when the NL champion Mets celebrated the 30th anniversary of their 1986 World Series crown. The Dodgers won the season series 4-3 after New York captured a tense, five-game playoff between the teams in October.
Kershaw struck out 10, walked none and capped a magnificent May with another sublime performance.
Adam Liberatore (1-0) got the win. Kenley Jansen earned his 15th save.
Familia (2-1) allowed two runs on two hits and two walks.
