Los Angeles Dodgers Baseball Blog » Eric Stults http://www.dodgershomeplate.com A blog about Los Angeles Dodgers Baseball Thu, 09 Sep 2010 08:37:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Dodgers outhit the Rockies in a 16-10 victory http://www.dodgershomeplate.com/dodgers-outhit-the-rockies-in-a-16-10-victory/ http://www.dodgershomeplate.com/dodgers-outhit-the-rockies-in-a-16-10-victory/#comments Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:43:17 +0000 DodgerFanatic http://www.dodgershomeplate.com/?p=52 The Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies combined to scored 26 runs on Monday night as the two teams played in a slugfest at Coors Field.  The Dodgers had jumped out to a 16-4 lead after five innings but the Rockies didn’t back down and scored the next six runs of the game as they kept chipping their way back.  Luckily for the Dodgers, there are only nine innings in a game and the Rockies ran out of time.

What I found interesting was that the Dodgers scored 16 runs at Coors Field but they did not hit one home run!  It was a lot of run scoring singles and doubles that scored most of the Dodgers runs.  James Loney went 3-6 and had five rbi in the game to lead the team at the plate.  Andre Ethier, Jeff Kent, and Angel Berroa all had two rbi each to chip in.  Matt Kemp, Russell Martin, Andy LaRoche, and Eric Stults all contributed with one rbi each.  The Dodgers should have probably scored even more runs but they left 22 runners on base.

The pitching staff was kind of dissappointing as all five pitchers were charged with atleast one run.  Starting pitcher Stults lasted just 3 2/3 innings as he was rocked for six hits and three runs.  Stults gave up a solo home run to Matt Holliday as well.  Brian Falkenborg and Joe Beimel both were charged with one run each.  Cory Wade pitched two innings and gave up three runs.  Hong-Chih Kuo gave up two more runs in the bottom of the ninth inning before he was finally able to get the last out.  Falkenborg ended up getting the victory and is now 2-2 on the year.

Stults ended up taking the loss after pitching 5 1/3 innings and giving up five hits and the four runs.  Lance Berkman hit a solo home run off of Stults in the first inning but after that it was a rbi single and then a two run single for the Astros off of Stults.

The Dodgers bullpen did a good job as they tossed 2 2/3 innigs of scoreless baseball.  Ramon Troncoso, Joe Beimel, and Cory Wade all pitched out of the bullpen and did a great job.

James Loney had the only rbi for the dodgers as he hit a sacrafice fly in the first inning to score Andre Ethier.  The dodgers as a team left 21 runners on base and that is why the only scored one run in the game.

Clayton Kershaw will take the mound for the Dodgers on Tuesday night as they try to get back into the series with the Astros.  Dodgers Blog

The Dodgers offense got two runs in the first inning with rbi singles from Andre Ethier and Russell Martin.  In the fourth inning three more runs crossed the plate for the Dodgers Blake DeWitt double that scored two runs and then a rbi sac fly by Stults.  Stults did a little bit of everything for the Dodgers as you can see.

The Dodgers will now send Clayton Kershaw to the mound on Thursday as the White Sox and Dodgers play the rubber match of their three game series.  Who will come out on top? Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

Matt Kemp hit a solo home run and also had a two run double to lead the Dodgers at the plate with three rbi.  Juan Pierre, Russell Martin, James Loney, and Andre Ethier all chipped in with one rbi each as well.  Good production as more then just a few people helped out at the plate to score some runs.

Eric Stults pitched six inning to get the win for the Dodgers.  Stults gave up six hits and three runs (one earned) to get his first victory of the season.  Scott Proctor also gave up one run in the game but then three other Dodger relief pitchers held the Reds scoreless the rest of the game.  Joe Beimel, Jonathan Broxton, and Takashi Saito finished things up nicely.  Saito earned his 10th save of the season in the game.

In other moves, the Dodgers optioned Eric Stults and Greg Miller to Triple-A Las Vegas.
