Jeff Kent hit a solo homer off Wesley Wright in the 11th inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers blew a five-run lead, then rallied to beat the Houston Astros 7-6 on Tuesday night.

Kent also had an RBI double and Russell Martin hit a two-run homer as the Dodgers needed their highest run total since June 19 to defeat the Astros for the first time in five meetings this season.

Chan Ho Park (4-2) got Lance Berkman to fly out to end the ninth, then pitched a scoreless 10th. After Kent homered off Wright (3-3), Takashi Saito pitched a perfect 11th for his 13th save.

Ty Wigginton hit a three-run homer and Carlos Lee tied the game with a two-run double, but the Astros couldn’t overcome a rare poor home start from Wandy Rodriguez.
