Dodgers Threaten in the Second
Andre Ethier singles to lead off the inning, then Loney, on a hit and run, hits a ball that deflects off the shortstop's glove. First and third with none out for Matt Kemp.
Update: Kemp gets caught looking on a pitch that starts inside and just breaks over the inside corner. Blake DeWitt comes to the plate.
Update: DeWitt hits a tailor made double play ball, but DeRosa bobbles the ball and everyone is safe. The Dodgers lead 1-0. Then Casey Black hits one right at the sure-handed Derrek Lee, and he bobbles the ball for an error. Bases loaded, one out for the pitcher Chad Billingsley.
Update: Chad strikes out. They should have squeezed. Furcal bunts hard, gets it past the pitcher, but slow enough to beat it out. The Dodgers lead 2-0, bases still loaded.
Update: Russell Martin hits a 3-1 pitch to the wall in left-center, clearing the bases. The Dodgers lead 5-0 and Manny comes up as the Dodgers bat around in the inning.
What happened to the team that could barely score 4.5 runs per game?
Update: Manny gets caught looking for the second time, but the Dodgers lead 5-0 going to the bottom of the second.
