Silence Screams Loudly in Loss

The Los Angeles Dodgers fell to the Colorado Rockies 3-0, only the second time the Dodgers have been shutout all season. Chad Billingsley was spot-on, allowing only three runs while striking out 11, but it was only worth his fourth loss of the season. The Dodgers totaled only two hits in the entire game which lasted just two hours and 16 minutes, a stark contrast to yesterday's four hour-10 minute marathon. Jason Marquis was lights-out to become the NL's first 10-game winner, throwing a complete-game shutout in under 90 pitches. Juan Castro and James Loney were the only Dodgers that did not see goose-eggs in their box-scores, both getting a single. Brad Hawpe hit a solo-homer, and Marquis hit a two-run single that helped himself to some breathing room.
