LAst Night's Action: A Penny Saved
Dodgers 5, Pirates 4 - Brad Penny was taxed for four runs in six innings, but Los Angeles cashed in with three runs in the seventh and two in the eighth to keep his record at 7-1. Andre Ethier hit the two-run shot that put the Dodgers ahead for good. Grady Little watched most of the game from the clubhouse after arguing with the ump in the fourth. He's the fifth major league manager to get ejected in the past few days, but he's got nothing on Bobby Cox.
Angels 4, Orioles 3 - LAnaheim also needed some home run heroics to win the game, but this shot was even more dramatic. Vladimir Guerrero went yard in the bottom of the ninth to complete the Halo's comeback. Must have been frustrating for Baltimore starter Jeremy Guthrie, who hurled 8 strong innings an allowed only one earned run with four strikeouts and no walks.
Duck Hunt - For the second series in a row, Anaheim defenseman Chris Pronger will serve a one game suspension. This one will happen on Monday night in game four of the Duck's NHL finals matchup against the Ottowa Senators. The Ducks currently lead 2-1 and game 5 will be held back in Anaheim.
Elsewhere - Beckham is having second thoughts, but at least the United States won something in soccer ... The United States also reclaimed hot dog supremacy ... If you thought it was strange when an NBA ref tried to fight Tim Duncan, at least he didn't take away all of the Spurs' points. Video here.
