The Dodgers win their 2nd straight 1 run game & their 3rd straight overall! Manny and Ethier get back-2-back solo shots in the 1st to put LA up 2-1. Chad Billingsley was on it for the first 6 innings today. LA had a 3-2 lead in the 7th when Billingsley gets into a bases loaded jam with Hanley Ramirez at the plate. Belisario comes into the game and strikes him out looking! Troncoso & Broxton finish up the 8th and 9th without allowing a base runner.

Nice one run win over the Reds, Bob.  I have no doubt Broxton is on a roll, I always hated facing him in the N.L.

Thanks! B) Just got another 1 run win against the Marlins and Broxton keeps rolling. :rolleyes: Got the 1st place lead back up to 4 games after the Rox were within 2. :D

The Dodgers tear up the scoreboard tonight on way to their 4th straight victory! LA hits 3 homers and Martin /Kemp each get 4 hits tonight. Russell's 4 hits included 3 runs and 5 rbi's! Hiroki Kuroda struggled in the 5th, when the Marlins who were trailing 7-1 pull to within 7-5. Dodgers tack on 5 more runs and the bullpen gives up only 1 run on 3 hits through the final 4 innings. Dodgers will go for the 3 game sweep tomorrow.

Rafael Furcal looks like superman making this diving catch!

The Dodgers complete the sweep of the Marlins and win their 5th in a row thanks to a great start by Randy Wolf. He retires the first 13 batters of the game today and comes within 1 out of a complete game shutout. The Marlins finally score in the 9th to make it 4-1 and then load the bases with 2 outs. Broxton comes in and strikes out Cody Ross! Manny & Ethier go yard for LA.

Jonathan Broxton completes the 1-out save tonight by striking out Cody Ross with the bases loaded!

Congrats on the sweep, bob, Florida was always one of those teams I had problems holding down.  Good job.   B)

Thanks! Hitting 7 homers in the 3 games helped a lot. Even with those 7 shots, LA only has 71 homers in 98 games this year! The "real Dodgers" have 85 in 103 games. The bullpen was really good too.

Looking good Bob. Got a little streak going and some breathing room. :good:

Thanks! This has been a streaky team big time. I just lost 8 out of 9 and now win 5 in a row! It's like the beginning of the season, I would either sweep or get swept. I can't believe I already have a 5 & 6 game lead back....they were just back within 2 & 2 1/2.....it was getting scary.

The Dodgers are on a roll, as they win their 6th straight game in a row! Clayton Kershaw gets off to a horrible start, giving up 2 runs on 5 hits in the 1st. He settles down to give up just 1 run on 4 hits over the next 6+ innings. LA continues its power surge with 3 long balls today. Manny hits a homer for the 4th straight game tonight, giving the Dodgers an insurance run in the 8th, going up 5-3!

O-Dawg connects for his 5th homer of the season to get LA off to the quick start in the 1st.

Tonight's game matched the Dodgers with 3 starters getting rest against the Cardinals with 3 new starters in the lineup. The Dodgers get out to a surprising 4-0 lead, with all 4 rbi's coming from Mark Loretta. Jason Schmidt wasn't great, but pitched well enough for the win. He left after 5 innings with a 4-2 lead. The Cardinals get all 6 of their runs off of 5 homers today, including shots from newcomers Lugo & Holliday. Ramon Troncoso gives up two of them in the 8th, blowing the game as he receives his 5th loss of the year.

Ryan Ludwick hits a 2-run homer off Troncoso in the bottom of the 8th to put St. Louis up 5-4.

The Cardinals are only 41-62 this season, I'm surprised how crappy they've been. Their new lineup with these 3 guys beat me 6-4 though and I still have 2 more with them.

The Dodgers lose for the 2nd straight time tonight to the new & improved Cardinals line-up. Billingsley has a horrible start, giving up 6 runs in the first two innings. The Dodgers make a nice comeback, but its not enough as they lose 6-5. All the Dodgers runs come on 4 homers tonight!

Matt Kemp hits a 2-run blast to center field in the 8th (his 2nd of the game)....to pull the Dodgers within 1 @ 6-5.

The Dodgers win tonight's game easily and get out of St. Louis with a 2-2 series split. Kuroda was on it tonight. Complete game shutout, giving up only 6 hits and striking out 6! Ethier and Kemp both homer for the Dodgers. Rafael Furcal runs wild tonight with 3 stolen bases.

Hiroki Kuroda picks Rick Ankiel off 1st base in the 8th inning.

Tonight's game was a heart breaker for the Dodgers. LA was cruising with a 3-0 in the 8th. It looked like Randy Wolf was heading for a complete game shutout. He ends up giving up 1 run in the 8th and then after getting the 1st out in the 9th he gives up a double and leaves the game leading 3-1. Broxton enters and with one pitch blows the game giving up a 2-run shot to Kelly Johnson. George Sherrill comes in to get the final 2 outs of the 9th. Bottom of the 10th now, 3-3.... Sherrill still in the game, 1 out....boom, solo shot by Jordan Schafer, game over!

Jordan Schafer celebrates at home after his 10th inning solo shot, while Sherrill looks on in disgust after losing the game.
