Tonight's starter, Chad Billingsley pitched his first complete game of the season, giving up only five hits. He threw 125 pitches, striking out three Giants while only walking two. An impressive outing for Bills at a time when the bullpen really needs some rest.
Casey Blake drove in both Dodger runs, homering in the second inning and knocking in a huge insurance run in the eighth.
We found out today that manager Joe Torre, bench coach Bob Schaefer and Clayton Kershaw will be suspended for their actions in yesterday's game. Joe Torre served his suspension tonight, so Don Mattingly served as acting manager one night after his debacle at the pitchers mound.
It was a very frustrating time for Dodger fans this last week. Now that they have this victory under their belts, I'm hoping the Dodgers will get back to their winning ways.
Serves Bochy and the Giants right for convincing the umpires to do something they shouldn't have been doing. That game made me more pissed off at the Giants than I've been since Barry Bonds was with the team.
ReplyDeleteNight Owl - Same here. I was so disgusted with last night's game. I'm just hoping tonight's game helps get the Dodgers back on track.
