Unlucky 13th Does in Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers fell to the San Francisco Giants 7-5 in 13 innings, dropping the series 2 games to one. The game went into extra innings with the score tied at four apiece, but Guillermo Mota surrendered the lead run in the 12th. However, Casey Blake hit a line-drive homer to keep the game alive. But Mota could not, giving up two in the 13th and the Dodgers could not respond. Juan Pierre had three hits and scored three times, and Blake had a hit in all three at-bats. Orlando Hudson doubled and drove in two, and Rafael Furcal had a run-batted-in. The Dodgers exhausted the entire bullpen minus Brent Leach when Jeff Weaver could only go five innings. Randy Winn finished with four hits, four runs scored, and the game-winning two-run single. Edgar Renteria added two hits, a run, and an RBI, and Emmanuel Burriss had four hits.

Stults Gets Plenty of Support in Win

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Francisco Giants 7-2, completing the three-game sweep of their bitter rivals. Eric Stults pitched five innings, allowing just two runs on five hits and three walks to get the win. Rafael Furcal hit a leadoff home run on the third pitch of the first inning, and Matt Kemp hit an RBI-triple and scored two runs. Casey Blake drove in two runs, and Doug Mientkiewicz had a pinch-hit, two-run double. However, on his slide into second, Mientkiewicz dislocated his right shoulder, and he is most likely going to the disabled list. The Giants hit just 1-for-10 with runners in scoring-position. Emmanuel Burris had three hits for San Fran, including a double, and scored a run.
