ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Dioner Navarro hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the seventh inning as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 on Saturday night.

Navarro, mired in a 2-for-34 slump, homered off Randy Wolf for his first home run since last Sept. 4. The catcher was obtained by the Devil Rays from Los Angeles in a four-player deal last June.

Akinori Iwamura also homered for Tampa Bay, which won for the third time in the last 10 games.

Juan Pierre capped a three-run sixth for the Dodgers with a squeeze bunt off Scott Kazmir that tied it at 3-all. Andre Ethier drove in a run with a double and Rafael Furcal had an RBI infield single.

Kazmir allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings. He struck out five and walked five during a 116-pitch outing. The left-hander is winless in 13 starts at home – including three losses – since a two-hit shutout victory over Boston last July 3.

Wolf (8-6) gave up four runs and 10 hits over 6 2-3 innings. He had five strikeouts and two walks.

The Dodgers loaded the bases in the fourth, fifth and seventh, but were kept off the scoreboard each time. In the seventh, reliever Jay Witasick induced a double play from Matt Kemp after allowing the first three batters to reach base. Casey Fossum (5-6) reloaded the bases with a walk before retiring Tony Abreu on a flyball.

Gary Glover worked a scoreless eighth, and Al Reyes stranded runners on first and third in the ninth for his 17th save in 18 chances.

The Dodgers stranded 15 runners in the game.

Iwamura hit his second leadoff homer in the past four games and Ty Wigginton had a sacrifice fly to put the Devil Rays up 2-0 in the first.

Los Angeles loaded the bases with one out in the fourth but failed to score when Ethier hit into a double play. The Dodgers also wasted a bases-loaded, two-out situation one inning later when Olmedo Saenz flew out to right.

Carl Crawford made it 3-0 on a fifth-inning sacrifice fly.
