Dodgers 9, Cubs 8

| | Comments (0) |

Easily the best game of the year. Dodgers came back with four in the bottom of the eighth on a shaky Cubs pen. Rafael Furcal drove in the tying run with his first hit of the night, running his hitting streak to 12 games, and Juan Pierre, choosing not to try to bunt for a hit for just the second time in five at-bats tonight, drove in the winner with a sac fly. Dodgers began the inning with three straight hits off Bob Howry, then Olmedo Saenz singled in the first run off Will Ohman (Oh man, they brough HIM in? Bad joke, sorry). The rest of the damage was done against Angel Guzman, who immediately threw a wild pitch and let three inherited runners score. The loss went to Ohman (Oh man, HE took the loss? Sorry, couldn't resist). Anyway, the Dodgers go to 28-20 on the year and stay one game ahead of the Padres (do they EVER lose?) . Good night, everyone
