The night after scoring 16 runs, the Dodgers were beat by the Colorado Rockies by the score of 10-1.  Talk about the total opposite for the Dodgers.  I don’t know whether to be mad or just laugh this game off.  I suppose I will just alught it off because really the Dodgers had no chance of winning this game.

Matt Kemp had the only rbi for the Dodgers as he hit a solo home run in the 9th inning.

Clayton Kershaw struggled in his three innings of action as he gave up ten hit and five runs.  Kershaw walked three batters and gave up one home run.  Jason Johnson pitched four innings after Kershaw left the game and he allowed two hits and one run.  Ramon Troncoso gave up six hits and four runs in only one inning of action.  All three pitchers for the Dodgers stunk it up…

The Dodgers will try to rebound and beat the Rockies on Wednesday.  Do you think that will happen?

The Los Angeles Dodgers took a beating from the bats of the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.  The Braves came out swinging and defeated the Dodgers 9-3 to even the three game series at one game each.

Dodgers starting pitcher Chad Billingsley gave up six runs on six hits in only 5 1/3 innings of action.  Five of the six runs were earned and charged to Billingsley as he took the loss and dropped to 8-8 on the season.  Billingsley struck out eight batters but also had control issues as he walked four others.

Ramon Troncoso pitched 1 2/3 innings without giving up a run but then Joe Beimel gave up three hits and a run and Cory Wade allowed two more runs to score in the ninth inning.  It just wasn’t a good night to be a Dodgers pitcher.

James Loney had a rbi double in the in the sixth inning that score Andre Ethier for the Dodgers first run of the game.  The Dodgers did not score again until the ninth inning when Delwyn Young scored on a rbi groundout by Nomar Garciaparra.  Loney also scored on that play when Kelly Johnson committed a throwing error.

The Dodgers just didn’t play good and most of the blame has to go on the pitching staff.  Will they get it together and come back and get a victory on Wednesday?

The Los Angeles Dodgers out hit the Houston Astros on Monday night 11-6 but it was the Astros that came out on top on the scoreboard with the 4-1 victory.  Dodgers starting pitcher Eric Stults gave up four runs while Astros starting pitcher Roy Oswalt only gave up one run.

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 Los Angeles Dodgers were unable to come up with a big hit as they lost to the Chicago White Sox by the score of 2-0 on Thursday afternoon.  The Dodgers only had five hits in the game and just never got a rally going. It wasn’t like they were out played in this game, the White Sox just got two timely hits that the Dodgers were unable to get.

Clayton Kershaw gave up both runs as he pitched the first four innings of the game.  Kershaw gave up six hits and took the loss which dropped his record to 0-2 on the season.  Brian Falkenborg, Cory Wade, and Ramon Troncoso all pitched after Kershaw was taken out of the game.  All three relief pitchers did a great job to keep the White Sox at two runs.

It just wasn’t the Dodgers day at the plate as they struggled to get anything going against John Danks and the relief pitchers of the White Sox.

The Chicago White Sox roughed up Derek Lowe for five runs in a little over seven innings on Tuesday night as they defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1.  Lowe struck out eight batters but gave up nine hits and five runs.  One of those hits was a two run home run by Jermaine Dye.  Lowe is now 5-7 on the season and the Dodgers are 35-41 as a team.

Cory Wade gave up two more runs in the game before Ramon Troncoso pitched a scoreless ninth inning to stop the bleeding.

Delwyn Young hit his first home run in the fifth inning off of Mark Buehrle for the only Dodgers run and rbi in the game.  Buehrle pretty much had every Dodgers batter not knowing what was coming.  The Dodgers made contact, but were never able to get a good rally going to score some runs.

Wednesday night will be a new game and the Dodgers will send Eric Stults to the mound as he hopes to improve to 2-0 and get a victory for the Dodgers.  Dodgers Blog

The Los Angeles Dodgers were never really in the game last night as the Arizona Diamondbacks put a butt kicking on them by the score of 10-5.  The Dodgers really couldn’t figure out Doug Davis who was making his last start before having thyroid surgery.  Dodgers pitching also sucked as the Diamondbacks scored 10 runs off of 12 hits.

Chad Billingsly took the loss for the Dodgers.  Billingsly only lasted 2.1 innings in a terrible performance.  He gave up five hits, five runs (four were earned), walked three, and struck out one batter.

Hong-Chih Kuo stopped the bleeding for the next 3.2 innings as he didn’t allow a run, but after Kuo was done, Ramon Troncoso came into the game for an inning and gave up four earned runs on only two hits.  Jonathan Broxton pitched the 8th inning and also allowed an earned run.  Terrible job by the pitchers except for Kuo.

Blake DeWitt and Jeff Kent both had two RBI’s each for the Dodgers.  Andre Ethier picked up the other RBI.
