West Stays Deadlocked
Brandon Webb easily won his 18th game of the season, holding the red hot Astros to two runs over eight innings. He allowed four hits and one walk, lowering his BA allowed to .234 and his OBA allowed to .286. His 18 wins equals his career high set last season, and Brandon should get 8 more chances to reach 20. Twenty five wins remains a possibility.
Meanwhile, Chad Billingsley gave up three runs early to the Brewers, but that was all in his seven innings of work as the Dodgers clawed their way back for a 5-3 win. Manny Ramirez and Jeff Kent each picked up RBI, giving Manny seventeen in his fourteen games with the Dodgers. Kent has come to life since the Manny trade, too. He's also 22 for 52 since the first of the month.
