The Los Angeles Dodgers and slugfest are two words you normally don't hear in the same sentence. The Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres last night 11-8 so I guess that qualifies.
Adrian Gonzalez hit his 6th homerun, all against the Padres, and Andre Ethier and Juan Uribe also hit homeruns. In my last post, I wrote about how it was time for Alex Guerrero to replace Juan Uribe and Uribe goes out and hits a homerun. Alex Guerrero drew a walk in an at bat as a pinch hitter.
Brandon McCarthy got the win but gave up 6 runs in 5 innings, including three more homeruns. McCarthy has been almost Bert Blyleven-esque in his ability to give up homeruns this season. He gave up four in an earlier game this season in which he was also the winner. Reliever Chris Hatcher finally got his ERA under 10 (9.95 to be exact) by giving up a run in the ninth inning. It was a good game to let some of the bullpen some work in with a lead they could play with.
