The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to play good baseball as they beat the New York Mets 5-4 on Tuesday night.  The win was the Dodgers tenth win in their last eleven games and they improved their season record to 19-14.

Blake DeWitt hit a inside the park home run in the fifth inning to score the tieing and go ahead run for the Dodgers.  DeWitt who hit is first home run on Monday now has two home runs in under 24 hours!    DeWitt finished the game with four total RBI.

Juan Pierre also scored DeWitt in the second inning to pick up a RBI.

Hiroki Kuroda didn’t have his best stuff as he only lasted 3 1/3 innings after giving up eight hits and four runs.  Only two of the runs were earned however, but Kuroda should have pitched a lot better then he did.

Hong-Chih Kuo ended up pitching 3 2/3 innings of relief after Kurdoa exited the game and he picked up the win which was his second of the season.  Takashi Saito notched his fifth save of the season in the game as well.
