The Bats Wake Up

The Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates last night 12-2 as Hanley Ramirez hit two homeruns and drove in five and a trio of players- Matt Kemp, Jeff Turner, and Drew Butera- drive in two runs a piece. Hyun Jin-Ryu improved his record to 6-2 as he scattered ten hits (can you really scatter ten hits?) and gave up both Pittsburgh runs. Jamey Wright pitched three scoreless innings to earn his first save of the year. The Dodgers are still hovering around the .500 mark and Hanley Ramirez carried the team when they got hot last year and I am hoping a five RBI night will jump start him to another hot streak. Matt Kemp needs to get off the schneid as well or he might be playing himself right out of Los Angeles.
