Back On Track

After the Dodgers winning streak came crashing to Earth on Friday night in a 16-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies (Skip Schumaker even got to pitch an inning, a scoreless one at that), the Dodgers got back on track last night in a 4-3 win. Once again, Hyun-Jin Ryu once again pitched well enough to win (7 IP, 2 Earned Runs) but two outfield errors (one by Puig and one by Kemp)in the top of the ninth allowed the Phillies to tie the game at 3 off of Kenley Jansen. The Dodgers got their second walk-off win of the season when Catcher A.J. Ellis singled in Hanley Ramirez from second base. The Dodgers have won 7 of 8 now and need to finish the rest of the first half of the season strong. Hanley Ramirez went 3 out of 4, including his 6th homerun of the season, to raise his batting average to .394. Matt Kemp had a very forgettable game as he struck out in 3 out of his 4 at bats and walked in his other one.
