A Magical Ninth, An Improbable Dodger Victory

The Dodgers really weren’t supposed to win tonight’s game. “It just comes down to one really weird inning,” said Saint Louis Cardinals Cy Young candidate, pitcher Adam Wainwright, of the bottom of the ninth. “We were in the driver’s seat there. They had two outs, nobody on base.”

Dylan Hernandez at the LA Times is reporting that the Dodgers have come to an contract agreement with third baseman Casey Blake. Blake came over to the Dodgers before the trading deadline in late July as one of the cogs to help the Dodgers make their playoff run. The agreement is reportedly for three years and $17 million. At the age of 35, this is Blake's first free agent contract. Also noted in this story is that the Dodgers are also signing infielder Mark Loretta.
