Betemit: deja vu all over again

The fifth inning was just like the first, except the damage was a lot worse. Once again, a ball was hit to Wilson Betemit that should have ended the inning. But as he cocked to throw to first, Betemit hesitated for a split second, then uncorked a one-hop throw that Orlando Cabrera easily beat out to load the bases. Vladimir Guerrero followed with a seeing-eye, infield single, driving in one run, and Rafael Furcal made an ill-advised throw to first that skipped past Nomar, letting in another run. Gary Matthews then singled in another off a frustrated Lowe, who grabbed a handful of dirt from the mound and heaved it in disgust. Not that any of that really mattered, though. This one was over from the moment the Angels scored their first run. Dodgers, who are 0 for 4 with RISP and 2 for 20 in the series, will go to 1-20 in interleague road games since the start of 2005. Angels 4, Dodgers 0, top 7
