Mets 13, Dodgers 9

Interesting that six recent former Dodgers took part in this massacre, including Aaron Sele, who was awarded the victory by scorer’s discretion because Tom Glavine didn’t go the requisite five innings. As bad a night as it was, though, it provided even more evidence of just how bright the Dodgers’ future is. James Loney and Matt Kemp, batting seventh and eighth, respectively, took good at-bats all night (well, most of the night). Some of these young kids take at-bats like they have been in the league for 10 years. Meanwhile, Hu and LaRoche continued to sizzle tonight. Vegas beat Portland 14-6 tonight, with Hu going 3 for 4 with a double and LaRoche going 2 for 5 with a home run. … Dodgers fall to 54-42 and back into a first-place tie with San Diego. This bullpen is in trouble, especially with Tomko going tonight. But Grady did a good job of staying away from Broxton and Saito tonight, and Hendrickson did a good job of eating two innings. Also Roberto Hernandez had a nice Dodgers debut, retiring the Mets in order in the seventh.
