They Win And They Lose

Even when the Dodgers win they, somehow manage to lose. The Dodgers beat the St. Louis Cardinals last night 9-1 and during the course of their 6 run second inning, they lost utility man Jeff Turner to a hamstring injury and Hanley Ramirez to a calf injury although on which leg seems to be up for debate. Jeff Turner raised his average to .302 with 21 RBI's playing a variety of positions and has been invaluable since coming to the Dodgers late in Spring Training this year. He is likely headed for the Disabled List and Carlos Triunfel is on his way back to Los Angeles on the Albuquerque shuttle. I think Hanley Ramirez gets hurt stepping onto the field. I wonder if he gets hurt cashing his check? Dee Gordon continued his recent hot streak with 3 more hits raising his average to .297. Juan Uribe drove in a pair and six different Dodgers had RBI's after only scoring 2 runs in the previous two games against the Cardinals, one of those games was a 1-0 victory for the Dodgers. Zach Greinke went 7 innings, giving up 4 hits and one run, and he struck out 10 to improve his record to 10-4 on the season.
