Dodgers Are Walk-Off Happy

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 2-1 in 10 innings, their ninth straight home victory. The two teams entered extra innings tied 1-1, but the Dodgers loaded the bases in the bottom of the tenth, and Andre Ethier sent a fastball to the right-field wall, sending Rafael Furcal home as the winning run. Randy Wolf pitched a gem, allowing only one run on two hits, but walked four and left in the middle of the sixth. The bullpen helped out, shuting out the Friars in 4-and-two-thirds innings, allowing only two baserunners. Russell Martin had three hits, and Wolf doubled and scored LA's first run. Furcal sent Wolf home on his first base-hit of the game. The Padres finished with only three hits, and Edgar Gonzalez provided the only offense with a solo-homer.
