LA Dodgers defeat Colorado Rockies 3-1. Casey Blake gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead in the first inning against Ubaldo Jimenez (L, 19-8) with a line drive single off Jimenez’s foot that blooped over shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, and that was all Ted Lilly (W, 9-12) needed. Lilly pitched eight innings giving up only a run in the fourth inning. With Blake on third base, AJ Ellis accounted for the third run in the ninth inning with a line drive single of his own. Hong-Chih Kuo pitched a perfect ninth for his 11th save of the season. So one question begs to be asked here: with first base open why in the hell do you pitch to Ellis especially with a runner on third base? more ›
