Rockies 1, Dodgers 0

Casey Blake’s sixth-inning departure was because of mild tightness in his lower back. He was removed for precautionary reasons, to make sure it didn’t turn into something major, but he declined to predict whether he’ll play tomorrow night. The guess here is that he won’t, as almost every big-league manager I have ever been around generally gives a guy one extra day just to make sure. … The loss notwithstanding, it was another good day for the Dodgers’ unsung heroes. Two more shutout innings, perfect ones in fact, for Cory Wade. And two more hits for Angel Berroa, whose season has turned into a remarkable comeback story. … Dodgers fall to 77-72. Reds and Snakes are tied in the seventh inning.
