Dodgers Win 7-2, Trail 2-1 in NLCS
Monday, October 13th, 2008 | Sports | No Comments
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 7-2 in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. The Dodgers scored 5 runs in the bottom of the 1st inning to jump out to a commanding 5-0 lead. Manny Ramirez and Casey Blake had RBI singles and Blake DeWitt drove in the final 3 runs of the inning with a crushing 3-run triple. Dodgers Starting Pitcher Hiroki Kuroda pitched 6 strong innings giving up only 2 earned runs on 5 hits. Kuroda walked one and struck out 3 in picking up the Dodgers first ALCS win of the 2008 post-season. Phillies Starting Pitcher Jamie Moyer lasted only 1 1/3 innings giving up 6 hits, 6 earned runs and striking out only 2 Dodgers batters. Tempers flared over whether or not pitchers were throwing at certain batters. Moyer hit Russell Martin with a pitch in the 1st inning. Kuroda later threw at the head of the Phillies Shane Victorino and Victorino shouted at Kuroda to avoid throwing at his head. After Victorino grounded out, he and Kuroda exchanged words and Manny Ramirez also joined the fracas because he was upset when Phillies Starter Bret Myers threw behind him in Game 2 of the NLCS. No punches were thrown and no players were ejected. It will be interesting to see if the feud continues when the 2 teams face off in Game 4 of the NLCS on Monday night. The Phllies will throw mid-season pick-up Joe Blanton, while the Dodgers will pitch Derek Lowe on 3 days rest.
