From the Dodgers’ perspective, this game was lost when Roberto Hernandez came in and allowed the first three batters he faced to reach and score, turning a 1-1 tie into a 4-1 deficit. But don’t lose sight of the performance of Oliver Perez. This guy is finally blossoming into the pitcher he was always supposed to be, and as good as the Dodgers have been offensively of late, he took them to school tonight. They got their hits, putting a man on base in six of the eight innings that began with Perez on the mound. But time after time, he came up with big pitches at big times, and the Dodgers were helpless to do much about it. Dodgers went 0 for 8 w/RISP. Hope they’re not falling back into old habits. They fell to 54-43 and stayed tied with the Pods, 4 1/2 games ahead of the fading Snakes and the surging Rox.
