LAst Night's Action: Dodgers Comeback, Angels Almost

Dodgers 6, Giants 4 - Barry Bonds didn't make any headlines on Wednesday, which was good news for Dodger faithful. Los Angeles needed an eigth inning comeback featuring a home run by Nomar Garciaparra. Nom-ahh also was one of four Dodgers with a stolen base. Russell Martin nabbed one of those bags, matching the team record of 18 stolen bases by a catcher (first set by Con Daily in 1892). For the first time this season, the home team in this rivalry matchup won the game. If you want to rub it in, join our contest to help rename Phoney Park.

Mariners 8, Angels 7, 12 - A three run rally in the ninth gave Anaheim a chance at a big comeback, but nobody would score again until the bottom of the 12th. Seattle's Yuniesky Betancourt singled in the game winner despite the Angel's extreme measure of playing Gary Matthews, Jr. as a fifth infielder to try and hold the runner at third. The M's pulled within three games of the division leading Halos.
