Dodgers in the Fifth
Rafael Furcal does his job, leading off the fifth inning with a walk.
Update: Andre Ethier dumps a single into short left-center. That brings Manny Ramirez to the plate. Does Manuel walk Ramirez in this situation? He's already walked twice tonight.
Update: They pitch to Manny, and he lines a belt high pitch into left. Bowa tries to stop Furcal at third, but he runs through the sign. Burrell throws home late, Furcal scores and the runners move up. The game is tied at two.
Update: Martin grounds out to short, plating Ethier for a 3-2 Dodgers lead. The announcers think Manny should have gone to third on the play, but it looked to me that Manny might have run into the batted ball if he started right away. By the time he made the decision, it was too late to go.
Update: Blanton gets DeWitt to hit into a twin killing and the Phillies get out of the inning trailing 3-2.
