Dodgers 3, Giants 2

Delwyn Young, who had a root canal earlier today, came off the bench to deliver a pinch-hit, RBI single in the ninth inning to score Rafael Furcal. Ray Durham made a diving stop, but then bobbled the ball, allowing Young just enough time to reach first. Durham then threw the ball to first, allowing Furcal just enough time to come all the way home from third. ... Derek Lowe is fine, just had a bruise below his left calf after that line drive knocked him out of the game in the seventh. ... Larry Bowa declined to comment on his ejection and subsequent explosion, which might or might not have fired up the Dodgers. He was ejected for arguing after third-base umpire Ed Montague told him to stay in the coach's box. ... HUGE debut for Ramon Troncoso, who came in with the bases loaded and one out in the seventh, with two runs already in. He got Rich Aurilia to GIDP to end that inning, and the Dodgers came right back in their half to tie it back up. ... Any worries about Takashi Saito pitching on back-to-back days, something he wasn't able to do in spring training because of injuries, proved unfounded. He struck out all three batters he faced. In two games, he is perfect, without a ball leaving the infield. ... Tony Abreu will head to extended spring training tomorrow to begin rehabbing his right groin injury. Extended spring doesn't count as a minor-league rehab assignment, so the clock isn't ticking yet. ... Jason Schmidt is expected to throw a bullpen today, but he still isn't going to be back for several weeks. ... Oh, and I should point out that Andre Ethier went 3 for 5. He now has three more hits than JP for the season. ... Dodgers are 2-0 for the first time since 2000, when Kevin Brown and Chan Ho Park beat the Expos (remember them?) at Parc Olympique. ... Andy LaRoche got his cast off today. He is three weeks into his 8-10 week absense. Wonder if he'll be the first third baseman to come off the DL.
