Dodgers in the Ninth

The Dodgers are coming up in the top of the ninth to face Billy Wagner. Martin, Anderson and Lugo are due up.

Update: Martin grounds out to shortstop. The throw was off a bit but Delgado made the tag.

Update: Anderson taps back to Wagner. Two out. It's up to Lugo.

Update: Lugo grounds out to short and once again Delgado makes the tag. Three of the four series start 2-0, but the Mets are the only team that maintain their home field advantage.

The Dodgers did the Padres one hit better, 5-4, and that one extra base knock was the home run that put them on the board. It wasn't a great day for California baseball, as the Padres and Dodgers combined for one run.

The Mets did everything well today. They spread out the Dodgers hits and they put ten of their own players on base. The even put the bat on the ball with men on base to advance the runners. as three of their runs came on outs. At worst, the Mets will need to come back for one more game at Shea. At best, they'll open the NLCS next Wednesday night.

Ugh... the Dodgers were lucky to only lose this one by three runs. They looked really bad out there today, and the Mets looked good. Will Jose Lima remain the only Dodger to pitch them to a postseason win since 1988?
