The Dodgers lost again on Saturday. It was their third one-run loss this week. That's just not the way to get to the playoffs, and it makes for some heartbreaking games for their fans.
I heard bits and pieces of this on the radio, but only got to see the bottom of the ninth inning. So, I won't bother trying to recap a game I didn't see. I know that Gonzalez and Martin each hit a home run. Eric Stults only made it through 4.2 innings, and gave up three runs. Unlike Friday night, the Dodgers didn't have a problem leaving men on base. That would be because nobody could get on base, as they could only manage seven hits. The Mets also had seven hits, but Eric Stults walked five in his 4.2 innings, so I think we can see where the difference lies.
The Diamondbacks looks like they are going to beat the Cubs tonight, barring a ninth inning comeback from Chicago. The Padres already beat the Phillies, so the Dodgers all of the sudden find themselves 4.5 games behind in the Wild Card race. As time goes by, it only gets tougher to catch up, and the Dodgers are going the wrong direction.
Oh, and David Wells pitches for his new team on Sunday. So, that should go well.
Pierre Watch: 1-4 (at my last game, I heard someone call him "Juan-for-four." I thought that was funny, though I'm sure this guy wasn't the first to think of it)
Player of the Game: Russell Martin (1-2, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 BB)
Record: 66-63
