Playing his second game since coming off the disabled list, Kemp walked in the first inning and came all the way around on a two-out double to left-center by Andre Ethier. Kemp was replaced in the field by Tony Gwynn Jr. in the second.

Monday night, Kemp was 1 for 4 with a ninth-inning double. He is batting .355 with 12 homers and 28 RBIs in 36 games. Last season, he hit .324 with 39 homers and 126 RBIs â€" both career bests â€" and finished runner-up to Milwaukee's Ryan Braun in the NL MVP voting.
