First Darren Dreifort reference in the history of this blog
Brad Penny has 12 strikeouts, becoming the first Dodgers pitcher to do that since 2003, when it was done by, yes, the $55 million man himself, Darren Dreifort. But Penny might be getting a bit winded. He hasn't struck out anybody since the fifth inning, and since Miguel Cabrera broke up his perfecto with an infield single in the fourth, Penny has given up a hit each inning. The Dodgers batted around in the fourth, scoring four times and probably putting the game away. The big blow that inning was a triple by Russell Martin, but LaRoche also drove in a run with a hit, and Penny himself had a two-run single. Dodgers 6, Marlins 0, top 7
